Private Jet Charter from LOT

Fly private from Lewis University Airport

Lewis University Airport (LOT) is a towered reliever field in Romeoville, Illinois, affiliated with Lewis University's aviation program and serving the southwestern Chicago metro area. Its 6,700-foot main runway and ILS approach give Élan Aviation clients capacity for light and midsize jets, along with reliable all-weather access, in a corridor that avoids the congestion of O'Hare and Midway.

Positioned just off I-55, the airport offers quick ground access to Chicago's southwestern suburbs, including Naperville, Joliet, and Bolingbrook, as well as the industrial and logistics corridor that runs through Will County. Its based FBO provides fuel, hangar and ramp parking, and ground handling for based and transient private aircraft.

Because LOT combines a longer runway with lower traffic volumes than Chicago's commercial airports, Élan Aviation frequently positions light and midsize jets here for clients whose business or residence lies in the southwestern suburbs, reserving Downtown Chicago-adjacent fields for itineraries specifically requiring proximity to the Loop.
