O’Hare Airport Expands Service at New Hangar
As American Airlines sought to improve operations and service its fleet efficiently, it embarked on the task of buildinga new double wide-body aircraft maintenance hangar at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Dubbed Hangar 2, the 194,000-sq.-ft. facility became the largest on the airfield at O’Hare, which is also the airline’s third-largest hub.

It also provides ancillary support functions, including a general back shop, component staging area and storage areas. Designer
