B. Coleman Aviation

B. Coleman Aviation is an independently owned, full-service FBO at Gary/Chicago International Airport, located 25 miles southeast of the Chicago Loop in northwest Indiana. The facility spans more than 95,000 square feet of FBO and hangar space, including a 19,500-square-foot airside canopy large enough to shelter a Gulfstream V or Bombardier Global Express from weather during boarding and deplaning. Inside the terminal, the passenger experience goes well beyond the typical FBO waiting area: amenities include a surround-sound theater with a 105-inch screen, a cafe with complimentary beverages, conference rooms, a fitness room with showers, and a comfortable lounge. The AIN survey has ranked B. Coleman among Chicago's top FBOs four consecutive times, reflecting consistent service quality. B. Coleman is a CAA-preferred facility and also operates aircraft charter, air cargo, maintenance, aircraft management, and acquisition services from the same campus. Gary/Chicago International offers a compelling alternative to the congested Chicago-area airports, with less airspace traffic, shorter taxi times, and lower landing fees than Midway or O'Hare. The airport's main runway was recently expanded to 9,000 feet, handling even the largest business jets. U.S. Customs is available on the field. The drive to downtown Chicago takes roughly 40 minutes via the Skyway or I-90, and the South Shore commuter rail line connects nearby to the Loop. For charter passengers who prioritize a relaxed arrival over proximity to the city center, B. Coleman provides a premium experience at a fraction of the congestion.
