American Airlines about to lift curtain on new gates at O'Hare

American Airlines will unveil 5 new gates in Terminal 3 at Chicago O’Hare International Friday as it seeks to grow its flight network from the third-largest hub for the carrier. The 5 new gates, L 20-24, situated near the end of the L Concourse, were built out at a cost of US$70m and entirely paid for by American Airlines, not the City of Chicago. These new gates are not to be confused with gates that were at the centre of a huge controversy tied to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $8.5b O’Hare expansion and redevelopment plan that he unveiled in March. Just as details of that O’Hare project were set to be made public, American suddenly found out it had been short-changed on gates the airline thought it was promised as part of the expansion deal. <br/>
