J.A. Air Center Moving to Chicagoland's Aurora Municipal Airport (KARR)

A move and major expansion is nearing completion at J.A. Air Center. The longtime West Chicago-based (KDPA) service company is moving to Chicagoland's Aurora Municipal Airport (KARR). Sitting just outside the Class B Chicago airspace but with direct tollway access (no stoplights to the Chicago Loop), the new location is positioned perfectly for Chicago arrivals.

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

The new 11,000-square-foot FBO terminal will have amenities, including a coffee cafe, 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 part sales, instrument sales and service and award-winning avionics installation and service.
