When reviewing gate allocation, it’s important to keep in mind alliance partners that are anticipated to use the new facilities at ORD. Presumably this will include Lufthansa, ANA, BA, Iberia, JAL and Aer Lingus. Perhaps a few other alliance partners. It may get crowded pretty quickly without S2. U...
