United CEO Sees 1,000 Daily O'Hare Flights (airwaysmag.com)

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby envisions 1,000 daily departures from Chicago O'Hare, up from roughly 650 now, plus 15 new international destinations, with no timetable. The FAA has capped O'Hare at 2,708 daily operations through October 2027, citing construction and air traffic control constraints. A new 19-gate concourse is due in late 2028, but its capacity impact is unspecified.
