Landing at Gary/Chicago International Airport means navigating a completely different experience than O'Hare or Midway. This facility serves business aviation, charter flights, and corporate planes with a more streamlined process. You move from your aircraft to ground transportation without the complexity of major commercial hubs.
The 25 miles into downtown Chicago take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic and where you're headed. Maybe it's board meetings in the Loop, a team heading to a major venue, or convention logistics. Either way, the transfer from arrival to the destination should match the efficiency that brought you here in the first place.
At Pontarelli, we provide Gary Chicago airport transportation that eliminates uncertainty. Your chauffeur coordinates with the facility managing your arrival, positions you at the correct location, and ensures a smooth handoff from your plane to ground transportation.
Coleman Aviation and Gary Jet Center operate as the two premier facilities here, serving private jets and charter flights with their nearly 9,000-foot runways. Your chauffeur coordinates directly with whichever FBO oversees your arrival, understanding their staging protocols and positioning requirements.
Our GYY airport car service includes real-time flight tracking for both commercial and private aviation. If weather delays your arrival or you land early, your chauffeur adjusts automatically. To take things even further, we include complimentary wait time to cover the walk from your gate and any brief delays without pressure. For arrivals requiring extra coordination, our meet-and-greet service positions a professional inside the facility with clear signage for an additional fee, ready to assist with luggage and guide you directly to your vehicle.
The transfer process here works differently than commercial airports. There's no baggage carousel wait, no confusion about pickup zones or parking levels. Bringing children? We provide car seats at an additional cost—infant carriers, convertible seats, or boosters—and arrange them in advance so everything's ready when you arrive.
Beyond airport transfers, our team connects you throughout Greater Chicago and beyond—from riverside hotels to lakefront properties, convention centers to sports arenas. For departures, private aviation typically requires 30 to 45 minutes ahead of your flight—windows we account for while considering traffic patterns to get you there on schedule. Twenty minutes ahead of your collection, you'll receive your chauffeur's name, photo, and direct phone number, along with a tracking link showing the vehicle's location—making it simple to connect if anything changes at the last moment.
The airport serves very specific patterns, and we've learned which routes our clients need most:
Interstate 90 runs straight into the city's hotel and business district—30 minutes when traffic cooperates, closer to 45 during rush hour. Executives head to The Langham for proximity to the financial district, The Peninsula Chicago for Magnificent Mile access, or Four Seasons Hotel Chicago when lakefront views matter. Our chauffeurs navigate this corridor daily, understanding how morning versus midday flow patterns shift.
For convention and trade show traffic, McCormick Place sits just 20 to 25 minutes away—significantly closer than either major airport. That proximity matters when your team needs coordinated arrivals for morning sessions. Our team knows which entry points the facility uses for different events and how intervals shift between setup days and active show hours.
Charter flights carrying teams frequently choose this location for its long runway capacity and discrete operations. United Center sits 30 to 35 minutes west, Soldier Field runs 20 to 25 minutes south, and Wrigley Field requires 35 to 40 minutes north. Our chauffeurs coordinate equipment logistics, venue security windows, and routing that maintains privacy.
Most arrivals have specific objectives, and our private transportation services align with those intentions:
Our fleet reflects decades of learning what actually works. We detail every option ahead of each trip, and our professionals complete ongoing training in both navigation and service standards:

Since 1977, the professional foundation that defines our Chicago limo service begins with training. Every Pontarelli chauffeur completes comprehensive preparation—geography, service protocols, airport transfer logistics. Background checks run for everyone. We operate 24/7/365 because private aviation doesn't follow commercial schedules.
What's more, our clients consistently note the professionalism and punctuality that define every transfer. Our reviews reflect what people experience—your chauffeur arrives when promised, the vehicle matches what you booked, and the service meets the standards you expect when choosing private aviation. Here is an example: ‘’I’ve always had great experiences traveling with Pontarelli. From the initial booking, to the pick up, to the drivers and vehicles all aspects have been nothing short of great. I recommend Pontarelli to all my friends and family.’’

Professional chauffeurs coordinate directly with FBOs ahead of your arrival, monitor your specific flight in real-time, and position in staging areas not accessible to rideshare services. You never search for your vehicle or wait in a collection queue. For private aviation clients, this means walking from your aircraft to a vehicle where the chauffeur already knows your name and destination.
We accommodate requests with 20 minutes to 3 hours notice depending on availability. For same-day bookings, call us directly so our dispatch team can confirm availability and coordinate positioning with your FBO. Advance reservations are recommended for larger options or specific requirements.
