Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY) broke ground this week on a $12 million, 47,000-sq-ft aviation hangar that it will own and operate. Slated for completion in May 2025, the hangar will house aircraft charter/management provider Wingtip Aviation, which signed a 20-year lease with the Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority and will consolidate its operations at KGYY.

The construction cost will be partially funded by a $1.3 million grant through Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative program.
