Chicago O'Hare is consistently the most delay-prone major airport in the United States. Its position in the Midwest puts it directly in the path of convective storms moving across the Great Plains in summer and heavy snow and ice in winter. O'Hare's enormous size and complex taxiway layout mean that even a brief ground stop creates a backlog that takes hours to clear. It is one of the most frequently cited airports in FAA ground stop and GDP data.
