"Based on data released in 2025 by the Airports Council, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is one of the busiest airports in North America, with over 80 million passengers making their way to the airport in 2024. If some travelers have been holding off on visiting O'Hare due to the absence of a certain route, 2026 might change things.United Airlines recently announced that it was adding five new direct routes to and from O'Hare to a series of Midwestern destinations."
"Chicago-area soccer fans looking to take in the World Cup in Guadalajara may also be interested to know that the airline is adding service between the two cities in June. "This growth at O'Hare highlights our commitment to invest in our network, customers and hiring in the city we call home," said Omar Idris, United's Vice President for ORD, said in a statement. The additional service is expected to make United's service at O'Hare the third largest hub for any airline in the country."
O'Hare handled over 80 million passengers in 2024, making it one of North America's busiest airports. United Airlines will add five direct routes to/from O'Hare beginning in April and May, serving La Crosse, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Champaign/Urbana and Bloomington/Normal. The new routes raise United's O'Hare destinations to 222 and secure its position as the top carrier at the airport. The expansion is part of a broader network growth that includes new service to cities such as Erie, Eugene, Monterey and Santa Barbara, plus increased frequencies to Dallas, Nashville and San Francisco. United will also add seasonal Guadalajara service in June.
