ORD expansion - some airlines say huh?
Same old story on the ORD expansion. All I know is the cops won't
let you metal detect the bought out properties. Heaven forbid you might damage some grass on property that is going to be bulldozed. Full story: http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel...0,581604.story Snip: ========= TRIBUNE INVESTIGATION Airlines seek to scale back O'Hare's expansion With new runway set to open Thursday, major carriers call further building plans 'premature and inappropriate' By Jon Hilkevitch and Julie Johnsson | Tribune reporters November 20, 2008 As the first new runway in Chicago in 37 years is set to open Thursday, major airlines serving O'Hare International Airport have unanimously called for halting the next phase of the ambitious expansion project, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Tribune. American Airlines and United Airlines, the two largest carriers at the airport, said the O'Hare plan is flawed, according to the statements sent to city and federal authorities that oppose more spending on the project. They called Chicago's effort to move ahead with the project "premature and inappropriate" because of the decline in air travel and the airline industry's uncertain future. Delta Air Lines executives said Chicago failed to do its homework and they accused the city of mounting an "impulsive grab for [tax] funds." ======= |

FLG -- JohnT I should have put a time frame into the question. FLG slipped through just under the wire, having completed its runway expansion less than a year ago, and before that, the rubberized asphalt project and a few building renovations. |

LAS has 25L/7R closed for repaving until May. SMF is blowing up the hotel and soon will be blowing up Terminal B to expand. I believe PHX is expanding.. all the major fields are either expanding or soon will be. .. And all of it certainly isn't for the A380.

IND just finished their new expansion 11 days ago. There is still some construction at the FedEx hub, but that doesn't count. |
