Opinion: Gary/Chicago International Airport could have been great alternative

If  Gary/Chicago International Airport had its runway extension completed, it could have handled a lot of the O'Hare International Airport planes and saved thousands of passengers from the delays they had.

The Gary airport could have been a great alternative and saved the day, but instead it remains an unknown and useless airport with delays of its own.

Just another reason for Illinois to push for its Peotone airport!
