Freight Forwarders Condemn Proposed Cuts to All-Cargo Flights at Chicago O'Hare
US freight forwarders are reacting with fury to a proposal by the city of Chicago to drastically reduce the number of all-cargo flights at O'Hare International Airport. The plan, linked to runway construction and noise abatement, could cut dedicated freighter operations by nearly 50%. Industry stakeholders, including the National Air Cargo Association, argue they were not consulted on the decision. They warn the move will severely damage the local economy, disrupt critical supply chains, and force business to competing airports like Rockford. Forwarders contend the decision wrongly prioritizes passenger traffic over the vital economic role of airfreight.
