About The Airport

Located just 25 miles and 35 minutes from downtown Chicago, Gary/Chicago International Airport offers the lowest operating costs and most convenient access to America's third largest metropolitan area. Through its partnership with the Chicago Department of Aviation under the Gary/Chicago Compact, GYY is the official third airport of the Windy City. GYY recently completed a $160M runway extension project bringing its main runway to 8,854 feet. And in 2014 the City of Gary and the Gary/Chicago Airport Authority entered into a historic 40-year Public-Private Partnership for the longterm management of the airport by the leading US management firm, AvPORTS, and longterm development of the airport and surrounding lands by Aviation Facilities Company, Inc. Now with two FBOs undergoing significant expansions, a newly expanded runway, a strong Public-Private partnership for success, and an attractive, pro-growth incentive package, GYY has never been a better opportunity to serve as your next Chicago gateway.
