Gary Jet Center Is Chicago's Best Approach

Beginning on July 1, 2013, all aviation fuel purchases (both Jet fuel and Avgas) in the State of Indiana are exempt from sales tax! There is a 10 cent/gallon excise tax, but given current fuel prices that is a minimum of 25 cent/gallon discount!

The Gary/Chicago International Airport has a 7,003-foot runway and is tower-controlled from 0500-2000 each day. Our customer-focused and friendly staff can accommodate your ground transportation and accommodation needs, while our NATA Safety 1st trained line service crew members attend to your aircraft.

Our well-appointed customer reception area for passengers highlights a front row view of the airfield and tarmac. Gary Jet Center also has:

  • A spacious pilot’s lounge
  • Snooze room
  • Weather and flight planning room
  • Conference Room
  • Complimentary coffee, ice, newspapers and Wi-Fi
  • 2013 Ford Taurus complimentary crew car
  • De-icing

In addition, the Gary Jet Center has over 110,000 sq ft of heated hangar space, with 80,000 sq ft completed in the last 4 years. With two new LEED-certified steel hangars built in 2008 and 2012 each with 40,000+ sq ft of space and a 28’ door height, we can hangar even the largest corporate jet.

All of our customers are treated to fair fuel prices and minimal fees. Gary Jet Center has zero ground handling fees with a minimum fuel purchase for all of our general aviation clients. Gary Jet Center will collect a landing fee based on aircraft weight on behalf of the Gary/Chicago International Airport, so there is no surprise bill sent your way after departure.

Gary Jet Center also has an FAA-certified repair station and Part 135 charter certificate with international operational specifications and a 10 or more designation. We welcome the opportunity to serve your aviation needs. For more information, visit our newly designed website at www.garyjetcenter.com.
