Airport & Aviation
in Schaumburg

Helicopter tours, first flying lessons and a runway-side dinner, all at one small airport.

Schaumburg Regional Airport on Irving Park Road is a working general aviation field, and most people drive past it without knowing what is inside. You can fly over the Chicago skyline in a helicopter, take the controls of a small plane on a discovery flight, train for a pilot certificate, or just eat dinner while planes take off outside the window. Pilots flying in will find fuel, parking and hangars here too. Every business below is at the airport, and we checked each one with the business itself.
