The two large hub operators at Chicago O’Hare International Airport have gone to the courts to stop the City of Chicago from financing and starting construction on the $3.36-billion second phase of the O’Hare Modernization Program.
United and American airlines asked the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill., to affirm that the lease arrangement between Chicago and the airlines obligates the city to gain the airlines’ approval prior to financing and construction. Also, the airlines requested that the court enjoin the city from moving ahead on the project.
