The former Greater Rockford Airport is officially is the CHICAGO/ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. Airport officials approved the name change in an effort to market the facility as an alternative to O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport in Chicago. After several months with no commercial air service, the Rockford airport was able to attract commuter connections from United Airlines and Northwest Airlines. It also is the second name change in as many years. The airport for a time was known as The Northwest Chicagoland Regional Airport at Rockford. (Greater Rockford Airport Authority)
