While the Chicago Cubs’ winning the World Series for the first time in 108 years was an answer to the prayers of many in the Windy City, for the local business aviation service providers, the conquest of the Cleveland Indians in the seven-game fall classic proved a bonus. “Our biggest bump was for the Cleveland flights, people leaving to go to those games,” said Lynn Eplawy, managing partner of the Gary Jet Center, one of two FBOs at Gary/Cleveland International Airport (GYY). “We definitely got some aircraft coming in for the home games, but we got a lot more aircraft departing to go to the games in Cleveland. Certainly games six and seven saw a lot of traffic leaving here.”
