Gateway Jets

Gateway Jets is an aircraft management company for Citation jets. Its corporate hangar is at St. Louis Downtown Airport, and it runs operations from Spirit of St. Louis Airport. The company was founded in 2013 and says it manages ten aircraft. The site says the company specializes in Citation jets because its team has thousands of hours in these airframes.

The company manages crews, scheduling, maintenance tracking, records, insurance, fuel programs and compliance for aircraft owners. The site says its crews are type experienced and that it arranges trips with clear communication. It also says maintenance and logbook oversight are kept organized, and that monthly flight logs and upcoming maintenance needs are shared with owners.

The site lists three Citation families that the company manages: the Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, the Cessna 525 CitationJet and CJ series, and the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel and XLS models. The company says it will occasionally take on other aircraft types for the right owner.

The company's corporate hangar opened in 2025 on the west side of St. Louis Downtown Airport. The site says the 13,300 square foot facility can hold up to five Citation jets behind a 100 foot bi-fold door. It has a private street entrance, secure indoor vehicle parking, a lounge, a conference room, a flight operations center, a kitchen, a shower and laundry facilities. Some hangar spaces are available with or without management.

Gateway Jets was founded by Corey Tomczak, an airline transport pilot with more than 7,000 flight hours. The site says the company also has a sister company, Citation Jet Exchange, which sells and acquires Citation aircraft and was launched in 2020.

The company's visit address is 3400 Vector Drive, Cahokia, Illinois 62206. The phone number is 314-203-4712. The site says the team typically responds within one business day.
