Southwest may withhold Midway upgrades amid Peotone talks
Southwest chairman Herbert Kelleher warned that a third Chicago airport near Peotone could force Midway restrictions or closure, prompting a possible move from Midway and delaying a $500 million terminal upgrade as the city weighs a new facility. He cited airline finances, passenger costs, and the risk of future limitations on Midway if Peotone proceeds, while Chicago officials warned of threats to Midway’s growth.
