Statistics

Removed this statement, which appears to be true (from forums on Airliners.net) from flight/passenger numbers at ORD:

"It is among a select group of airports worldwide with the distinction of serving more than 200 destinations, along with Heathrow, Frankfurt, Atatürk, Amsterdam, Charles de Gaulle, Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Munich, and Dubai.^{[citation needed]}"

Perfunctory research indicated informal support for the numbers (by internet users comparing airports' own numbers) but no definitive, published numbers to reference.Chidino (talk) 00:59, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Modernization plan" section

First off, it looks like the "modernization plan" section has not been updated in a while. Second, should that section be merged into the "History" section? Much of the events listed in the modernization plan section took place quite a while ago and it may not be appropriate to continue to give it its own section (then, of course, I'm not sure what the exact status of the plan is as it does not appear to have been updated in a while). --1990'sguy (talk) 02:08, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and along with the recent announcement of O'Hare 21, a rewrite and expansion seems necessary. So I'll continue to work on this.Chidino (talk) 05:01, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm continuing. I believe I've done very creditable work to where I stopped (Infrastructure). I shall return.Chidino (talk) 11:32, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infrastructure

In the past, history of runways was both here and in the earlier sections about the history and growth of ORD. I'm going to make a judgement call and say that the references earlier are sufficient, and if additional fleshing out from what was deleted is warranted, I honestly don't think it belongs in this section. Here the discussion should be as to facilities, runways, infrastructure as it currently exists, imo Chidino (talk) 06:01, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Air India to Hyderabad

Stop adding Hyderabad! Many users have repeatedly added HYD as a destination for ORD even though HYD-ORD-DEL is not on the same plane. There is a change from a 777 to another 777 in DEL. Additionally, per bullet #7 of AIRPORT-CONTENT, flights travelling through hubs on the same flight number should not have the final "flight number destination" listed. --Irehdna (talk) 00:49, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
