According to reports, the O'Hare Global Terminal, a $2.2 billion project, is poised to become one of the largest and most advanced airport facilities in the U.S., significantly enhancing Chicago’s attractiveness for travelers. This terminal will replace and more than double the space of the current Terminal 2. To ensure uninterrupted operations during construction, two satellite concourses will maintain gate capacity.
