Gate Dispute Clouds Expansion Plan For Chicago's O'Hare Airport

Description

On Wednesday a new $8.5 billion plan to expand Chicago’s O‘Hare International Airport ran into problems due to a gate dispute involving the airport’s two major carriers. American Airlines said it cannot sign a new lease needed for the project, citing a “secret provision, inserted at the last minute” that gives additional gates to United Airlines. In a statement, American Airlines said “The United gate deal would undermine competition, allowing the largest airline at O’Hare to expand its size advantage for years into the future."
