Skyteam to get ORD Terminal 5
A vast new plan for O'Hare would demolish Terminal 2, upgrade the other terminals, build two new satellite terminals, result in 6 east-west runways and 2 diagonal runways, and basically give an expanded Terminal 5 to Skyteam, as well as to other non-hub airlines. United and American would be centered in the new Global Terminal to be extended from where Terminal 2 is now, with 150 feet-wide concourses instead of the clogged arteries of today. It sounds to me like there will be two customs/immigrations facilities, the existing one in Terminal 5, and a new one in the new Global Terminal:

Let's not cheer. It's a pain and requires extra time to get to terminal 5 if you use public transportation to/from ORD.

T5 is closer than all the others to remote parking, which is also used as a public transit stop.

In the airline industry, having domestic and international airlines in the same terminal is known as a “global alliance hub,” Evans said, pointing to London’s Heathrow Airport and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport as the standard. O’Hare would become the first such global alliance hub in the U.S., Evans said. |

I have to believe this is incorrect. Detroit is only one example where this is also the case. There are many others, I am sure.

This is only rather peripherally about Delta: AA and UA hold significant veto power over ORD developments, and this isn't financed.
Get back to me when there's a groundbreaking with a firm timeline to put Delta and SkyTeam carriers into Terminal 5. |

Get back to me when there's a groundbreaking with a firm timeline to put Delta and SkyTeam carriers into Terminal 5. Also, T5 will not be formally called the Sky Team Terminal. It will also house both Star and OW carriers that are not part of the JV that will operate from the new T2 and also non aligned carriers. It will also house B6, AS, F9 and NK once it's all completed. Put it in this perspective, F9 is moving over from T3 this year with 16 operations a day, DL moves over in 2020 with roughly 80 operations per day. Until the new T2 is built, the only FIS will continue to be T5 which on average today during peak summer has 110 operations today. As it was made clear, this is all about international flying and growth, so you can only imagine how packed this terminal will be between 2020-2026. You think T2 is rough, just wait and everyone knows this. |

In addition, AFAIK most of the airport hotel shuttle buses don't stop near T5. I recall having to get myself from T5 to T2/3 for a shuttle to hotel we used for a Star Mega-DO.

Hopefully DL will consider expanding/upgauging at MDW during this period. Move one of the SLC flights over to MDW, go all CR9 to DTW, and more mainline to MSP.

It's a couple minutes on the ATS. How is this any different than hopping the Plane Train at ATL post-security? |
