DuPage Flight Center, the county-owned and operated FBO at Chicago DuPage Airport (KDPA), has expanded with the opening of another hangar. Built over the past year at a cost of $15 million, the 48,000-sq-ft facility—which, with its 29-foot-high doors, can accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets—includes two bays, each with 3,000 sq ft of office space.

It brings the total hangar space at the Paragon Aviation Group member FBO, located less than 30 miles from the Windy City’s downtown, to more than 170,000 sq ft. KDPA features a 7,571-foot main runway, a 24/7 control tower, more than a million sq ft of ramp, and onsite U.S. Customs. Its FBO offers a 14,000-sq-ft terminal with granite floors, crew lounges, conference rooms, and a café.
