Airport selection & considerations
Chicago Midway (MDW / KMDW) is south-west of the city centre and offers handling for business and private aircraft. We include it when comparing arrivals for the Loop or an event at McCormick Place. The aircraft, destination address and flight times all need to work together.
Handling, operating hours & availability
Midway has several FBOs serving private flights. We confirm which facility will handle yours and where you should arrive. The operator checks aircraft suitability for the route and payload. International arrivals and the required entry arrangements are coordinated in advance.
Onward travel & baggage
A chauffeur can meet you at the agreed FBO for your office, hotel or exhibition venue. For an event at McCormick Place, share the entrance or precise meeting point. We also plan the return drive around the end of your appointment and traffic conditions.
Location: OurAirports; time zone: America/Chicago · checked 5 October 2026. Operating details are checked before booking.
The journey ends at your meeting.
Through our local partners, a chauffeur can meet you at the private aviation terminal for your hotel, office or McCormick Place. For a visit to the suburbs, we need the full address. Your group, luggage and schedule determine the vehicle and collection time. You can also request several drives or separate arrangements for the return journey.

Meeting in the Loop? Start with the arrival.
There is more to Chicago than downtown. A meeting in the Loop calls for a different arrival assessment from a company visit in the northern suburbs. We compare Midway, Chicago Executive and O’Hare against your address and proposed flight.
For an exhibition visit, the exact meeting point at the venue matters too. We use your appointments to plan landing and the onward drive together. If colleagues arrive or leave separately, we account for that in the quotation.

Your questions. Clearly answered.
Should I choose Midway, Chicago Executive or O’Hare?
Your address and onward plans guide the choice. We compare Midway (MDW), Chicago Executive (PWK) and O’Hare (ORD). A suburban meeting can call for a different arrival from a city-centre stay or an airline connection.
Can every private jet use Chicago Executive?
No blanket assurance would be appropriate. The operator assesses the aircraft, route, payload and current conditions. If it is unsuitable, we compare the other airports and the onward drive.
Can I go straight to my event at McCormick Place?
We can arrange a chauffeur through local partners from the confirmed FBO to the agreed entrance or meeting point. Tell us the event and when you are expected. Traffic and possible arrival delays need to be allowed for.
What should I consider when flying to Chicago in winter?
Weather, possible de-icing and airport conditions can affect the journey. We coordinate the plan with the operator. Allowing time before a fixed appointment helps; where appropriate, we discuss arriving earlier or using other flight options.
Where does your Chicago day begin?
Tell us the address and when you need to be there. We will plan your private flight with the onward journey to match.
