Legislative Guide Annual Update

The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) is pleased to provide its 2023–2024 Legislative Guide Annual Update on the latest accomplishments at Chicago O’Hare and Midway International Airports. Chicago’s two-airport system and geographic location are critical to the air traffic network across the region, the state, the nation, and the world. In this fast-paced global marketplace, Chicago’s airports move people and products to almost anywhere in the world on a single flight. Under Brandon Johnson’s leadership, the CDA continues to contribute to the City of Chicago’s economic recovery, advance the growth of the Chicago region, and increase diversity, equity, and inclusion through hiring and contracting initiatives. As we​ renew our infrastructure, we continue to provide safe, secure, and sufficient space to accommodate the needs and demands of the future and work. Additionally, the CDA prioritizes and includes sustainability in our planning,​ development, and operations efforts to be leading environmental stewards in the aviation industry.
