Chicago Executive (PWK) Airport Car Service

PWK (Chicago Executive Airport, formerly Palwaukee Municipal Airport, named for its location at the intersection of Palatine Road and Milwaukee Avenue) sits in Wheeling and Prospect Heights in Cook County, Illinois, accessible via Interstate 294 and Palatine Road. The airport is owned and operated by the Chicago Executive Airport Board (a joint authority of Wheeling and Prospect Heights). PWK is one of the busiest corporate aviation airports in the United States outside of major commercial hubs. There is no scheduled commercial service. Our chauffeurs stage at the terminal area for charter and FBO pickups.

PWK to Northbrook and the Northbrook corporate corridor runs about 10 to 15 minutes via Milwaukee Avenue, and PWK to downtown Chicago and the Loop runs about 35 to 45 minutes via Interstate 294 southbound to Interstate 90/94. PWK serves as the preferred corporate airport for the entire North Shore executive base, with major Chicago metro corporate flight departments routing through PWK to avoid MDW and ORD congestion.

PWK is one of the busiest corporate charter airports in the United States, with hangar facilities, FBO services from multiple operators including Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Support, and ramp space for business jets including Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global Express, Dassault Falcon 7X, and Cessna Citation aircraft.

Corporate aviation demand at PWK peaks during Chicago area trade shows including the National Restaurant Association Show at McCormick Place each May, the International Manufacturing Technology Show in September, and the major Allstate, AbbVie, and Walgreens Boots Alliance investor day cycles.
