Chicago · On-demand
From Midway, Chicago Executive, or DuPage.
Chicago has several business-aviation airports, and the right one depends on where you start: the North Shore, the western suburbs, or the Loop. Tell us the trip — one-way or round trip, a same-week meeting or a February escape — and we match the aircraft to the route, the passenger count, and the schedule. Because we are not locked into one fleet, each quote compares a wide range of aircraft for a very competitive price. You should not have to buy a jet card, a block of hours, or a return you do not need.
Call or send the itinerary. We come back quickly with options and an all-inclusive quote, and you have a personal point of contact throughout. WiseJets uses operators that meet ARGUS/Wyvern standards.

Round trips are quoted the same way, for the itinerary you actually fly. An empty-leg discount can sometimes apply when an aircraft is already moving along your route and your timing is flexible. An empty leg is not the same as a confirmed charter. If your schedule is fixed, book a standard charter.

Chicago-area airports
Most private flights in Chicago skip the airline terminals entirely. Chicago Executive serves the North Shore and northwest suburbs, DuPage serves the western suburbs, and Midway is usually the shortest drive to the Loop. We will recommend an airport in the quote.
Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW)
About nine miles southwest of the Loop and usually the shortest drive downtown. Private flights use Signature Aviation or Atlantic Aviation, both open 24 hours, with U.S. Customs available on site subject to CBP procedures.
Chicago Executive Airport (PWK), in Wheeling
The North Shore and northwest-suburbs option, about 18 miles northwest of downtown. FBOs include Signature Aviation, Atlantic Aviation, and Ascension Global Aviation. The longest runway is 5,001 feet, so we confirm the aircraft suits the field.
DuPage Airport (DPA), in West Chicago
Serves the western suburbs and the Fox Valley, with a 7,571-foot primary runway and the DuPage Flight Center FBO. U.S. Customs is located in the Flight Center, subject to CBP hours and procedures.
O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
Signature Aviation is O’Hare’s private-aviation terminal. Useful for some international arrivals and connections, though Midway, Chicago Executive, or DuPage is often the easier private choice.
Gary/Chicago International (GYY) in northwest Indiana and Waukegan National (UGN) are also options. If another nearby airport is a better fit, we will say so in the quote. The airport and FBO are confirmed before you book.
Four steps
How a Chicago charter comes together
A straightforward process, from a call to departure at Midway, Chicago Executive, DuPage, or O’Hare.
01
Share the itinerary
Origin and destination (or the Chicago airport you prefer), dates and times, one-way or round trip, passenger count, baggage, pets, and any catering or ground-transportation needs.
02
Review options and a quote
We come back quickly with aircraft options and an all-inclusive quote, including material fees, positioning, and terms.
03
Confirm the trip
You review the aircraft, the price, and the cancellation terms, then confirm.

You fly from the Chicago airport that suits you. Your personal point of contact is available by phone or email from booking through the return.

Not locked into one fleet
Access to a wide range of aircraft
We match the cabin to the trip — a turboprop for a short regional hop, a light or midsize jet for Naples, Teterboro, or Vail, and a larger cabin when the group or the range calls for it.
Turboprops
Such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 350, for shorter regional hops and smaller airports, such as northern Michigan or Wisconsin lake country.
Light jets
Such as the Phenom 300, for small groups and many typical Chicago trips to New York, Florida, or the mountains.
Midsize jets
For more cabin room and range on trips such as Naples, Vail, or Dallas.
Super-midsize jets
For longer range, a more spacious cabin, and nonstop range on longer trips.
Heavy jets
For larger groups or long-range travel.
Aircraft names are examples of types often used for these trips. The specific aircraft is confirmed in your quote.
Questions
Private jet charter Chicago FAQ
How much does a private jet from Chicago cost?
Typical one-way starting points from Chicago are from $16,000 in a light jet or $18,000 in a midsize jet to Naples, Florida (APF); from $14,000 in a light jet or $16,000 in a midsize jet to the New York area at Teterboro (TEB); from $18,000 in a light jet or $20,000 in a midsize jet to Vail / Eagle (EGE); and from $16,000 in a light jet or $19,000 in a midsize jet to Dallas Love Field (DAL). These are typical one-way starting points, not quotes. Round trips are quoted for the itinerary you book. The final price depends on date, aircraft, and availability.
Do I need a jet card or membership?
No. WiseJets is pay-as-you-fly. There is no membership, no jet card, no block of prepaid hours, and no long-term commitment. You pay for the Chicago trip you book, one-way or round trip.
Which Chicago airport is best for a private jet?
Midway (MDW) is usually the shortest drive to the Loop. Chicago Executive (PWK) in Wheeling is often best for the North Shore and northwest suburbs. DuPage (DPA) in West Chicago suits the western suburbs and has the longest runway of the three. O’Hare (ORD) works for some international arrivals. The right airport depends on the aircraft, the runway, and your ground destination. We will recommend an airport in the quote.
Can I book a round trip, or only one-way?
Both. Many Chicago clients fly round trip — out and back for a meeting in New York, or a week in Florida — and we quote it for the itinerary you book, including any days the aircraft waits for you. One-way pricing simply means you never have to pay for a return you will not use. If you are coming back on a different day, or not with the same group, a one-way may be the better value; we will price both when it helps.
What about winter weather in Chicago?
Chicago-area FBOs at Midway, O’Hare, and Chicago Executive offer aircraft deicing, and some offer heated hangar space. In winter, the operator and crew make the final weather call. If timing has to move, we keep you updated and work out the new plan with you.
How far ahead should I book a Florida or ski trip?
Holiday weeks, spring break, and peak ski weekends book up earlier, so a little notice usually means more aircraft choices and a better price. Same-day or short-notice trips are often possible when an aircraft and crew are available.
Is private jet charter safe?
WiseJets uses operators that meet ARGUS/Wyvern standards. Your flight is operated by a licensed Part 135 air carrier, named in your charter agreement, and the aircraft and operator are confirmed before you book.
Who do I call if plans change?
Call WiseJets at (317) 397-0180. You have a personal point of contact after you book, including for passenger changes, timing updates, and special requests. Pets and extra baggage are usually fine, subject to the aircraft and the route; tell us when you request the trip so we can match the cabin correctly.
