Aviation analytics company Cirium looked at which airports offered the most nonstop flights on a daily basis. Chicago O'Hare International Airport had the most in the U.S. at 270.
Much of the airport's connectivity is due to Chicago's service to U.S. destinations. The airport offers 963 flights to 166 U.S. cities, which makes up most of its daily service.
Nearly half of the air traffic at O'Hare belongs to United, which is based out of Chicago. United also partners with the Star Alliance network, which includes many other airlines.
O'Hare is also one of American Airlines' largest hubs, and it has served passengers flying from New York to Chicago since 1936 and connects passengers to worldwide destinations.
