Chicago O'Hare Airport breaks summer passenger record as United warns flight caps could last until 2034
Chicago O'Hare International Airport broke its summer passenger record in 2026, the city said, while its biggest airline is warning flights caps could persist for years as construction continues. Chicago O'Hare International Airport broke its summer passenger record in 2026, with over 25 million passengers traveling to and through the airport from June to August. This was an increase of about 2.7% compared to 2025. The record was broken even with the imposition of flight caps from the Federal Aviation Administraiton (FAA).

The largest terminal expansion project in the airport's history, ORDNext, is set to last through 2034 and will take some taxi-ways out of service over various periods of time.
