Chicago Vertiport (JTY) Airport Car Service

JTY (Chicago Vertiport) is the planned electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi vertiport in downtown Chicago, serving the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) market connecting downtown Chicago to ORD, MDW, and the broader Chicago metropolitan area. As eVTOL service from operators including Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, and Beta Technologies progresses through FAA certification and operational rollout, JTY will function as the primary downtown Chicago vertiport. Our chauffeurs stage at the vertiport ground transportation area for arriving passengers.

JTY to the Loop financial district and the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue from the Chicago River north to Oak Street, anchored by Water Tower Place and the John Hancock Center observation deck) runs about 5 to 10 minutes via downtown surface streets. We handle daily transfers to downtown hotels including the Peninsula Chicago (Forbes Five Star), the Four Seasons Chicago, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, the St. Regis Chicago, and the Ritz Carlton Chicago.

Yes. McCormick Place (the largest convention center in North America, host of major trade shows including the National Restaurant Association Show, the International Manufacturing Technology Show, the Chicago Auto Show, and the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting) runs about 10 to 15 minutes from JTY via Lake Shore Drive. We handle daily convention week transfers, exhibitor logistics, and corporate hospitality group transport.

Yes. eVTOL air taxi service represents the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) market for short distance electric aircraft connecting urban centers to suburban airports without traffic congestion. As Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, Beta Technologies, and other eVTOL operators progress through FAA certification and operational rollout, we coordinate ground transportation connections at JTY and other emerging vertiport facilities. We hold standing accounts with major eVTOL service launch partners.

Yes. Downtown Chicago hosts a year round event calendar including the Taste of Chicago each summer, the Chicago Marathon each October, the Chicago Air and Water Show each August, the Christkindlmarket Chicago each November and December, and the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. We handle daily event transfers from JTY across the downtown Chicago entertainment district.

Yes. United Center (home of the Chicago Bulls NBA team and the Chicago Blackhawks NHL team) runs about 15 to 20 minutes from JTY via the Eisenhower Expressway, and Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cubs MLB team in Wrigleyville) runs about 15 to 20 minutes via Lake Shore Drive northbound. We handle Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs game transfers, suite holder pickups, and major concert nights at both venues.

Yes. Northwestern Memorial Hospital (the flagship hospital of Northwestern Medicine, the major academic medical center serving the Chicago region) and the broader Northwestern Medicine downtown medical campus run about 10 minutes from JTY via downtown surface streets. We handle patient transfers, visiting physician transport, family member airport pickups for extended hospital stays, and corporate transfers for the broader Northwestern Medicine system.

Yes. The downtown Chicago corporate base anchored by Boeing world headquarters (which has relocated its headquarters multiple times in recent years), Walgreens Boots Alliance, Mondelez International, McDonald's Corporation Fulton Market, and dozens of major financial and professional services firms generates emerging demand for vertiport ground transportation as eVTOL service rolls out. We hold standing accounts with several major downtown Chicago corporate clients.

Major McCormick Place trade shows including the National Restaurant Association Show each May, the International Manufacturing Technology Show in September, the Chicago Auto Show in February, and the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting in November and December all drive heavy downtown Chicago demand. We recommend two to four weeks of lead time for major event week SUV and Sprinter bookings.

Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye eVTOL air taxi arrivals as service rolls out, 4 am downtown Chicago corporate departures, and late night downtown event pickups. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning service on standard bookings.
