Wendy Abrams Quotations

We are prepared to have about 200 travelers stay with us overnight because of these problems.

We have not been able to confirm that he was living at the airport. What we do know from reports is that baggage handlers and Department of Aviation Security encountered him in T5 more than once.

There are varying levels of intricacies of how a parking guidance system could operate. It could direct users to a specific floor or a specific parking space.

This would not have happened if the FAA would not have imposed flight caps. They are a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

We also plan to take a look at the configuration of all three of the Midway checkpoints and make some design changes as necessary. We are looking at any and all options that we can employ at both of our airports to make sure they are as safe as they can be.

We attribute that to the voluntary FAA flight caps that were put into place last year.

The program is far less appealing and less effective if only a handful of airports offer it.

At Midway, the Department of Aviation has plans to install approximately 300 landside and airside cameras over the next 12 months at a cost of $1.5 million.

Of the three gates at Midway, two already have cameras. The gate at 55th and Laramie was the one gate that did not.

Any money they will owe us came as a direct result of the bankruptcy action. Because we're still negotiating what that amount is, we can't provide a number.

The biggest reason we are not surprised at being No. 2 is the FAA flight caps have had a major impact on our ability to expand. It simply makes the case for an accelerated modernized O'Hare.

The airline industry has been hit hard. Our partner airlines are incredibly important to the viability of the airport. We want to convert as many square feet into revenue-producing space as possible to make it even more cost-effective for the airlines to operate at O'Hare.
