CHICAGO, January 26, 2017 - Will you be flying through one of Chicago's airports over the next couple of weeks? Be sure to bring your appetite! The Chicago Department of Aviation's award-winning "Airport Restaurant Week" returns to O'Hare and Midway International Airports beginning this Friday, January 27, 2017. This event features an impressive line-up of the airports' dining options from Chicago-based restaurants and bars, including Publican Tavern, Summer House Santa Monica and Reilly's Daughter, and boutique culinary entrepreneurs including Sarah's Candies and Vosges Haut-Chocolat.
During "Airport Restaurant Week", which runs from January 27 through February 9, both airports will feature live cooking demonstrations, samplings and discounts on select menu items at most of the restaurants at O'Hare and Midway. The airport event is timed to coincide with Chicago Restaurant Week.
Chefs from the airports' restaurants, as well as aspiring local chefs from Chicago's own Kennedy-King College, will display their culinary skills and share freshly-made samples with passengers at the cooking demonstrations. Featured dishes include spicy shrimp with grits, bacon avocado toast, falafel burger, Caribbean rice with pigeon peas and jerk salmon, popcorn balls, sushi rolls and much more. Local chefs will even offer a tutorial on how to make the perfect "Chicago Dog". (No ketchup included!)
Cooking demos at O'Hare will take place in Terminal 1 near Gate B12 and in Terminal 3 in Concourse H/K. At Midway, cooking demos will be held in the Midway Boulevard Food court, located just after the security checkpoints.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
