B. Coleman Aviation at Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY) is the latest FBO to be accepted into the Air Elite Network, the World Fuel Services-sponsored group of upscale service providers. All FBOs that are invited to join the group must undergo an audit of their facilities and services before being voted on by the existing members.
Established in 2014, the FBO—which is 35 minutes from the Loop in Chicago and is open 24/7—offers a modern 18,000-sq-ft facility with a rampside canopy large enough to shelter large-cabin business jets and 90,000 sq ft of hangar space. Other amenities include a café, a theater room, a pilot lounge, a fitness center with showers, a pair of conference rooms, and a concierge. On-site U.S. Customs service is available.
“Welcoming B. Coleman Aviation to the Air Elite Network aligns with our commitment to curating elite service,” said Malcolm Hawkins, World’s senior v-p for global business aviation. “B. Coleman Aviation’s unique position as an alternative to the commercial airspace in Chicago ensures our customers have an option that will get them where they need to be quickly.”
With this latest addition, the network now lists 83 locations in 23 countries.
