Flying private to Chicago
Chicago is served by 3 airports used by private jets. The main one is Chicago Executive Airport (KPWK), 45 minutes from the centre. Customs on site.
Chicago Executive Airport KPWK
5,001 ft · 45 min · customs · 24h
The North Shore's corporate airport in Wheeling, 45 minutes from the Loop but close to Lake Forest, Northbrook and the O'Hare business corridor. CBP by appointment, three FBOs and no airline traffic; the 5,000 ft runway restricts heavy jets.
Chicago Midway International Airport KMDW
6,522 ft · 25 min · customs · 24h
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.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport KORD
13,000 ft · 40 min · customs · 24h
O'Hare's Signature FBO handles heavy and widebody VIP aircraft that Midway and Executive cannot, 40 minutes from the Loop. Long taxi times and airline delays make it a last resort for routine business-jet flights.
