Flying privately through DuPage Airport

Reviewed October 28, 2026

DuPage Airport (DPA) is worth comparing when your trip begins or ends in Chicago’s western suburbs. Its Flight Center is in West Chicago. Start with the address you need to reach, then compare the available aircraft, complete charter price and ground transfer with Chicago Executive and Midway.

Confirm your Flight Center meeting point

A fixed-base operator, or FBO, handles private-aircraft ground services. At DPA, confirm whether your flight uses the Flight Center or another designated facility.

DuPage Flight Center lists its address as 2700 International Drive, West Chicago, IL 60185, with a concierge number of 630-208-5600. Confirm the exact pickup point with your flight provider; an individual flight may use a different tenant or hangar.

The FAA describes DPA as a general- and business-aviation airport with most services on its west side. It is separate from O’Hare. Give your driver both the airport code and the confirmed street address.

Arrange the ground part of the trip early

The Flight Center’s concierge team coordinates transport, rental vehicles, catering and accommodation requests. Its website advertises 24/7 customer and aircraft services. Ask which services require advance booking and which charges are included in the charter quote.

For several meetings, provide the addresses and required arrival times. For a family trip, discuss child seats and luggage before choosing a vehicle. A rental car and a chauffeured transfer serve different itineraries; decide around your plans.

Leave aircraft and clearance decisions to the provider

The Flight Center publishes a 7,571-foot primary runway and on-site U.S. Customs facilities. Runway length does not guarantee that a particular aircraft can operate your trip. The operator evaluates aircraft loading, weather and operating conditions. International arrivals require confirmed customs arrangements.
