Cook Aviation

Cook Aviation is the premier FBO at Monroe County Airport in Bloomington, Indiana, owned by the Cook Group, one of the world's largest privately held medical device manufacturers headquartered in the area. That corporate backing means the facility is maintained to a standard above what you might expect at a small regional airport. The FBO is on call for refueling 24 hours a day and services aircraft of all sizes. One of the most appealing features for charter passengers is the absence of ramp fees, which is increasingly rare in general aviation. Complimentary Cadillac courtesy cars are available for short trips, and an on-site automobile rental fleet provides options for longer stays. The concierge staff can book hotel accommodations and provide directions to area attractions. Bloomington is home to Indiana University, one of the largest public universities in the country, which generates consistent charter traffic for athletic events, parent weekends, academic conferences, and recruitment visits. The city also draws visitors for its popular restaurant and music scenes, the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center, and easy access to Brown County State Park and Lake Monroe. Wi-Fi is available on the ramp near the terminal building. The airport has a 6,500-foot primary runway that accommodates midsize and some super-midsize business jets. Cook Aviation's ground staff is friendly and efficient, reflecting the Midwest hospitality that Bloomington is known for. For passengers visiting Indiana University or the Cook Group facilities, this FBO provides a polished, hassle-free arrival.
