Airport Information
Gary/Chicago International Pilot Reviews:
Rafael
July 9, 2026I’ve made several C172 trips here for conferences in downtown Chicago and at UChicago. B. Coleman provides excellent service, and Dale is awesome. Getting in and out is really convenient. For a ride from Gary into the city, Robert Martinez operates a car service that you can arrange ahead of time at (312) 857-8222. It costs less than an Uber.

June 27, 2026Really nice FBO. The staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. No landing fees for GA aircraft under 7000 lb. Staff can arrange rental cars if you ask.

January 8, 2026Gary recently started charging landing fees with Vector, unless you need the services provided by the Jet Center/Customs I'd recommend going to 05C just south. No airport fees or adsb landing fees.
