Chicago O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP)

The O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP) increases the runway capacity at Chicago O'Hare Airport, America's second busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers.

In order to allow for continued runway operations and match funding availabilities, the Program, costing more than US$8 billion, was separated into several phases.
- Phase 1
- Phase 2A
- Phase 2B

Many of the slides below are from Comissioner Rosemarie Andolino's City Club Chicago presentation that can be found at the following link. (45 minute video) Click here.
