Southwest Exits ORD and IAD as Part of a Network Overhaul

Southwest will end service to Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Washington Dulles (IAD) on June 4 as part of a profitability-driven network overhaul; the ORD exit could free gates for American and United as Southwest emphasizes its MDW base. The IAD departure drew disappointment from MWAA. Travelers affected can rebook to nearby airports or receive refunds—ORD passengers can switch to MDW, IND, or MKE, while IAD travelers can choose BWI, DCA, PHL, or RIC.

FAA Considers Summer Flight Caps at ORD to Shield Safety and Capacity

The FAA plans to ask airlines to reduce flights at Chicago’s O’Hare this summer to prevent capacity strain and potential safety-system stress. A meeting is scheduled to discuss a possible formal order; ORD’s peak-day operations exceed the proposed limit of about 2,800 daily ops (roughly 100 departures/arrivals per hour). United and American are expanding at ORD, while the city notes billions invested in modernization to support growth, and officials say a temporary schedule adjustment will be worked out with airlines and regulators. Passengers may face changes as the schedule is finalized, but regulators and carriers are pledging to keep operations safe.
