New Location To Serve Chicagoland Fliers

A move and major expansion is nearing completion at J.A. Air Center. The longtime West Chicago (DPA)-based service company is moving to Chicagolands Aurora Municipal Airport (ARR)... which lies just outside Chicago's Class B airspace, but still has direct "no stoplights" tollway access to the Chicago Loop.

Slated to open December 1, the four-building campus will feature a 20,000 sq. ft. arrival/departure canopy large enough to handle large cabin corporate aircraft, more than 90,000 sq. ft. of hangar space, 60,000 sq. ft. of office space and a separate, secure VIP arrival terminal.

The new 11,000 sq. ft. FBO terminal will have amenities including a coffee café, conference rooms, business center, WSI weather, VIP lounge, sleep rooms, private showers, game room, multiple TV viewing areas and an exercise room. A 60,000 gallon fuel farm featuring Conoco Phillips products is under construction as well. Prime rental space will be available for corporate flight departments and aviation related tenants.

In addition to FBO services, aircraft sales and acquisitions, charter, flight instruction, aircraft detailing, mail order avionics and consumer GPS sales, J. A. Air Center is a Part 145 repair station offering aircraft maintenance and parts sales, instrument sales and service and award winning avionics installation and service.
