“Having flown to Chicago for 70 years we are constantly looking to further improve our service," said Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer. "The introduction of our third daily service to London, and moving our departures to Terminal 3 alongside our Atlantic Joint Business partners, underscores our commitment to providing unparalleled service and convenience to our valued customers in Chicago."

As well as commemorating seven decades of connecting Chicago with London and beyond, the airline is celebrating the remarkable career of Regional Airport Manager Maureen McLafferty, who has dedicated 40 years of service to British Airways in Chicago. She said: “What an exciting way to mark our 70th year of flying to Chicago, and my fourth decade of working at British Airways, with the addition of a third daily flight and a move to this new home at O’Hare International Airport. We can’t wait for our customers to experience the benefits of this new terminal and the convenience of our co-location with American Airlines.”
