O’Hare’s dubious achievement: No. 1

Saturday, 05 Jul, 2006 0

Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport has surpassed Atlanta as the busiest in the US, according to government statistics.

In third place: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Chicago and Atlanta in recent years have been close rivals for the title of the nation’s busiest.

O’Hare was down 1.3% in flights from last year but still led the list, says the Federal Aviation Authority.

What’s next? A major expansion project at O’Hare expected to be completed in 2013 will make it even busier.
