Cargo in Chicago
 
Does anyone have any info on PT135 cargo ops out of the chicago area, or any company who has a base there?
Thanks

airnet operates out of DPA. probably not highering for a while. Frieght runners in mKE also not hiring. There's bank air in the mu2 out of mdw I think still. A corporate 135 out of dpa has a van that they run cargo out of. Air Cargo carriers I think comes through the area at some time not sure about the base. Lab quest goes out of pwk once and a while not sure if thats a base or not. thats all I can think of right now good luck.

Don't think Bankair has anyone based at MDW anymore. Pretty sure their MSP-based Lear doesn't go through there anymore, either. The MU-2s were Air 1st for the last couple of years. Also not based at MDW, and there's only one left, flying out of DSM.

Planemasters at DPA is the place kodiakallstar is referring to. They have a few caravans. You won't be based in Chicago from what I understand though. They base their pilots in smaller towns in the midwest based on company needs.

go to Air Charter Guide and look around a little bit. that'll show you 135 ops throughout the country and you can narrow it down to airport/aircraft as well.

I think you are talking about SkyLab. Lab Quest flies into DPA.

There aren't anymore MU-2s going into MDW. That was my run and it ended 7/31.
