“The O’Hare 21 Project is giving our organisation the platform to extend our aviation expertise in a significant way. This opportunity is also a clear representation of equity, alliance, experience, and inclusion, which are driving forces behind this partnership.”

The ongoing O’Hare 21 project will expand travel options by adding the gate capacity, minimise security wait times with new security screening checkpoints that integrate the latest screening technology.

It will enhance the screening and sorting of passenger baggage by replacing baggage handling systems and reduce airfield congestion and ground delays by enhancing aircraft parking positions and capabilities.

AECOM Hunt COO for Central Region Jason Kopp said: “We’re extremely proud to work alongside Clayco and Bowa to play a role in the transformation of O’Hare into an international hub primed to meet the needs of the 21st century.

“We’re thrilled to bring our proven expertise to this team, together implementing the highest standards of safety and quality to deliver the airport Chicagoans and world travellers deserve.”
