VERTIPORT CHICAGO Chicago's Premier Helicopter Tour Company

Located in the Illinois Medical District, Vertiport Chicago is Chicago’s only and North America’s largest vertical helicopter landing facility. Chicago has not had this type of utility since Meigs Field unexpectedly closed in 2003 and we’re excited to have it back.  They offer picturesque tours of the city, as well as executive charters, all located downtown in a state of the art facility. Leave the ground and soar over Chicago’s famous landmarks in luxury aircraft that is sure to have that iPhone camera roll filled in no time. Learn more about Vertiport at the Chicago Helicopter Show on August 10 and then get out and see the city like you’ve never seen it before. 


HELICOPTER SHOW
Join Vertiport and aviation enthusiasts on August 10 for the Chicago Helicopter Show. Taking place at Vertiport’s headquarters (1339 S Wood St), this free event will focus on military appreciation and helicopter awareness. Learn about the aircraft that you see flying around every day helping to save and protect lives in our city and even take a special show tour around Chicago (tickets will be available at the event). Helicopter owners are also welcome to contact Vertiport if they wish to have their aircraft featured in the show.



TOURS
We all know someone who’s bragged about their helicopter tour of Vegas or the Grand Canyon, but have you ever met anyone who’s enjoyed our own gorgeous skyline from 600-feet above the Lake? Well, now’s your chance to show off some sweet aerial shots of all your favorite Chicago locations with Vertiport Chicago. They offer multiple tour packages to fit any budget and range from 15-30 minute tours to a VIP private tour, day or night. Experience bird eye views of Millennium Park, the Mag Mile, Museum Campus, Soldier Field and much more. For some serious ManScore points, take the VIP tour and create a custom itinerary of your favorite Chicago spots to fly over.


EXECUTIVE CHARTER
Corporate helicopter use disappeared in Chicago almost immediately after Meigs Field’s closure in 2003 but it makes sense once again. Vertiport Chicago’s proximity to the city creates an unparalleled convenience from a logistical standpoint. You can be downtown in 10 minutes after a short commute by air from some of the area’s major outlying business parks like Deerfield, Oakbrook, or Schaumburg. Being mere minutes by air from all of Chicago’s major airports means that current business aircraft users should consider the use of helicopters again and Vertiport Chicago is an integral part of this equation.

Alright, we’ve already established that helicopters are cool but if you’re like the majority of us and can’t afford to have your own, you can charter and Vertiport Chicago is the place to do just that. Vertiport works with regional and national leaders in the charter and fractional helicopter ownership space including Helimotion and HeliFlite. So, next time you want to treat the squad or impress that date, you can charter from an all turbine powered fleet owned and operated by consummate professionals to take you to that concert in style or land trackside for a race event at Autobahn. Not to mention, the impeccable facilities at Vertiport Chicago will ensure an unforgettable experience from start to finish.


FIXED BASE OPERATIONS (FBO)
Speaking of facilities, 10 minutes from the Sears—I mean—Willis Tower lies 10 acres of Schwarzenegger style awesomeness; an entire airport designed to do one thing: get you to da choppa! In addition to its huge lighted ramp area and 24 hour fueling facilities, Vertiport Chicago features 12,000 square-feet of office space including pilot and executive lounges making it a fantastic place to conduct business while on your way to conduct business. Furthermore, Vertiport Chicago’s 30,000 square-feet of hangar space that oh, by the way, is available for rent is the perfect venue to hold a corporate event flanked by sightseeing tours of the city, or have a ManScore worthy wedding. Give Vertiport Chicago some serious consideration next time you need an event space.
