Jet Aviation Business Jets Inc

Jet Aviation is a business aviation services company founded in 1967 in Basel, Switzerland, where it started as a maintenance organisation for business aircraft. It has been owned by General Dynamics since 2008. This listing covers its Chicago presence, which the company describes as an aircraft management and charter location.

The company's service lines include aircraft management, charter, aircraft sales, completions, FBO, maintenance, government programs and staffing. It entered the charter and aircraft management businesses in Europe in 1972. Charter in the United States is handled through a US charter desk that the company says is staffed around the clock.

Charter flights are generally flown on aircraft from Jet Aviation's managed fleet. Its January 2026 global factsheet reports about 300 managed aircraft and more than 5,000 employees. Its website refers to some 50 locations worldwide.

In the US, the company lists FBOs at sites including Teterboro, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Palm Beach, Scottsdale, St. Louis and Van Nuys. The Chicago page does not give a street address, and Chicago is not among the FBO locations listed. Flyers looking at Chicago departures should confirm with the US charter desk which aircraft and departure airport would be used.
