But that year, the airport decided to expand with a new international terminal.
However, the temporary Terminal 4 was tiny andforeign airlines complained about lack of operating space.
But by that time, the name Terminal 5 had already stuck.

a representative for OHare International Terminaltold local news channel WGN9inChicago.
