ORD modernization and A380 and 747-8 ready
The new runways at O'Hare are a great move forward. The proposed west roads described in the previous threads are great proposals too. But the terminals at O'Hare are in major need of being updated. Despite the terminal 5 "food court and shopping" facelift, it is crowded and behind the other int'l terminals in the US - it's only going to get worse with the recent new int'l additions to O'Hare. I thought there were plans for terminal 2 to be torn down for a new terminal to servce star alliance in addition to a new int'l terminal 4 for one world.
Also can ORD handle the A380 or 747-8 yet? I'm surprised for an airport that was once the busiest in the world and one of the most famous that there is yet to be A380 or 747-8 service. SFO, LAX, MIA, ATL, IAD, IAH and JFK all have it.
