Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support at Chicago Midway operates from 5821 South Central Avenue with one of the more impressive FBO facilities in the Chicago market. The terminal features 190,000 square feet of heated hangar space that can accommodate aircraft up to a Global Express, and the passenger and crew areas reflect a level of investment that matches the heavy traffic this location sees.

The lounge is open 24/7 and includes large flat-screen TVs with DirecTV, a fireplace, Starbucks coffee, hot chocolate, newspapers, and complimentary snacks and beverages. Showers, lockers, and laundry facilities are available. Conference rooms and a business center with computer access serve passengers who need to work between flights. The facility is pet-friendly, a useful detail for passengers traveling with animals. Wi-Fi covers the entire building and ramp.

Midway's key advantage over O'Hare is its proximity to downtown Chicago. The airport sits about 10 miles southwest of the Loop, and a car to the downtown hotels takes 20 to 30 minutes outside of rush hour. The Orange Line train also connects Midway to downtown, though most charter passengers will use car service.

The airport has a single runway configuration with the primary at 6,522 feet, which accommodates most business jets. Super-midsize and heavy jets can operate here but should factor the runway constraints into weight planning. For ultra-long-range aircraft, O'Hare or Gary/Chicago International may be more suitable.

Midway serves the south side of Chicago and is well positioned for passengers heading to the McCormick Place convention center, the University of Chicago, Guaranteed Rate Field, or destinations in the western and southern suburbs. The 200,000-square-foot heated hangar provides excellent aircraft protection during Chicago's winters, with full de-icing capability on the ramp.
