Third airport debate grows as Chicago delays rise
Delays at Midway and O'Hare fuel calls for a Peotone third airport while opponents argue weather and air traffic control slowdowns, not congestion. FAA data show delays up 158 percent at Midway and 97 percent at O'Hare through May 1999, with August delays easing slightly. Industry officials warn new runways won’t alone fix the system.
