Midway has experienced tremendous growth in recent years and the growth continues in 2013. In 2012, Midway recorded its highest passenger total in the airport's 85-year history with 9.67 million enplanements. Currently, five airlines at Midway provide service to over 65 destinations.
In addition to serving more passengers and adding new destinations, Midway has made improvements to enhance the travel experience. A new consolidated rental car facility at Midway is now open at 5150 W. 55th Street. The new facility replaces the rental car customer service centers, facilities and lots that were previously located in and around Midway and consolidates them into one convenient location. The facility contains several environmentally-friendly features such as solar panels and wind turbines to generate clean power, a detention basin to manage storm water and elements to collect rainwater for irrigation.
