CHICAGO — The City of Chicago is thrilled to announce the acceptance of its proposal by airline partners to proceed with the Terminal Area Program (TAP) to modernize Chicago O’Hare International Airport. We look forward to prioritizing the O'Hare Global Terminal to bring benefits to the traveling public sooner, while providing thousands of jobs and contracting opportunities to Chicago. 

Today’s announcement is a major step forward in the growth of O’Hare – and the Chicago region – as a key hub for travelers from across the globe. 

We are extremely grateful to United Airlines, American Airlines, and other federal, state, and local stakeholders for their valued and trusted partnership. The City looks forward to continued collaboration towards improving the O’Hare experience for millions of travelers and maintaining the airport’s status as an essential global gateway.
