ADA Friendly Services at Midway
Getting from one point to another while traveling through an airport can be
challenging, especially for travelers with disabilities. The Chicago Airport System recognizes these needs and is committed to making passage through our airports as pleasant and convenient as possible. Wheelchair assistance is available from your
airline. Please contact your airline to make special arrangements.
The new Midway International Airport Terminal Building is a three level facility equipped with ADA friendly features. All exterior sidewalks have sloping curb cuts for easy wheelchair access. Additionally, the terminal building has extra-wide automatic entry doors on both the upper and lower levels. There are also designated areas on the terminal roadways for active loading and unloading of passengers with disabilities. Parking restrictions on the terminal roadways are strictly enforced, therefore please do not park or leave an unattended vehicle in these designated spaces.
Throughout the airport facility, restrooms, elevators, signage, telephones, restaurants, drinking fountains, and diaper changing facilities are in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
