Notice
Summary
The FAA is pushing back the start date for new flight scheduling limits at Chicago O'Hare Airport from May 17 to June 2, 2026. This gives airlines extra time to adjust their summer crew schedules without changing the end date of October 24, 2026. If you fly or work at O'Hare, expect these new rules to help keep things running smoothly this summer.

O'Hare Scheduling Limits Start Delayed
The FAA moved the start date for new flight scheduling limits at Chicago O'Hare from May 17, 2026 to June 2, 2026. The change is meant to give operators extra time to adjust summer 2026 crew schedules.
O'Hare Limits Still End October 24
The amendment keeps the scheduling limits' expiration date at October 24, 2026, so the limits remain in force through that date. All other terms of the April 20, 2026 order remain unchanged.
