Market narrative

Illinois's charter aviation market is dominated by the Chicago metropolitan area, with operators based at Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in Wheeling, DuPage Airport (DPA) in West Chicago, and Midway International Airport (MDW) serving the extensive corporate and financial services sectors. The concentration of Fortune 500 companies, commodity exchanges, and manufacturing headquarters drives tremendous charter demand.

Chicago's position as a transportation hub makes it a natural charter center, with operators providing service throughout the Midwest and beyond. The city's financial sector, centered in the Loop, generates regular charter traffic to New York, while manufacturing companies create demand for flights to production facilities across the industrial Midwest. Downstate Illinois operators serve agricultural regions and smaller cities, with specialized operations supporting the state's extensive farming and food processing industries.

Key facts
