A 47,000-sq-ft hangar that will house the operations of aircraft charter/management provider Wingtip Aviation has opened at Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY) in Indiana. Construction of the $12 million facility, which was developed by the KGYY airport authority, began in 2024.

“This new hangar represents a major milestone for Wingtip Aviation and our commitment to Gary/Chicago International Airport," said Wingtip owner Jeromy Montesano, whose company operates an all-large-cabin business jet fleet. "By consolidating our operations into this purpose-built facility, we are better positioned to serve our customers, support our employees, and continue growing alongside one of the most dynamic airports in the region.”
