DuPage Aerospace Private Jet Charter & Maintenance

DuPage Aerospace Corporation (DPA) is a full-service aviation company. It specializes in aircraft charter and aircraft maintenance. The company is located on DuPage Airport in West Chicago, Illinois, in a 60,000 square foot facility.

The company is known mostly for private jet charter flights from the Chicago area. The site says these flights go across the country and to places such as the Caribbean. The fleet listed on the site includes Gulfstream G500, G280 and G200 jets, and Hawker 800XP, 850XP and 750 jets.

The site says DuPage Aerospace is a Class IV repair station, the highest FAA rating level. Its team can work on everything from single piston aircraft to large cabin corporate jets. The site highlights Hawker jet maintenance and inspection.

The company also offers aircraft management for owners. The site says management takes care of crew training, maintenance, record keeping and other daily duties. It also helps buyers choose an aircraft, arranges pre-purchase inspections, negotiates price and handles delivery.

The company was founded by Tony Aiello, a general contractor who loved aviation. The site says he built T-hangars on DuPage Airport in the early 1970s. He later bought an interest in an FBO on the airport. He started another FBO, which became DuPage Aerospace. After Tony Aiello died in March 2011, the Aiello family asked John Bullock to lead the company. Bullock had been Tony's partner in the original FBO.

The site lists John Bullock as vice president, Mike Gartke as director of maintenance and Steve Crawford as director of operations. The charter sales phone is 630-513-2222. The site offers an email list signup and a list of frequently asked questions.
