Celebrating your O'Hare moments

You told us about joyful arrivals and tearful departures.
About saying goodbye to loved ones...not knowing then it would be the last time.
You met your adopted babies for the first time under this roof.
You took your first steps in a new country — now your home.
You met the love of your life here. And proposed marriage.
Veterans of four different wars told us about touching back down on American soil at O'Hare.

Through “moments” from 1955 to today, your stories reminded us how different air travel once felt — more formal, yet somehow more relaxed.

Thank you for your moments.

It reaffirms why the historic ORDNext terminal expansion is so important to our future. Because what we are building now — as we move into vertical construction on The New Concourse D — is not just steel and glass. It is a place being crafted, intentionally and thoughtfully, to care for the moments still to come.
