- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Chicago's downtown-side airport, 25 minutes from the Loop, with two FBOs, CBP and fewer delays than O'Hare. Runway length limits fully loaded heavy jets; the Fly Quiet programme discourages late-night operations. Most convenient for the city core and South Loop.
