## Description

A 7,570-foot runway, an instrument landing system and a roster of corporate jets – DuPage Airport in West Chicago has infrastructure many commercial airports would envy, yet handles neither airlines nor freight. The DuPage County field serves the business aviation needs of Chicago's western suburbs and ranks among the state's busiest GA airports. Cargo never developed here for a simple reason: O'Hare sits just 20 miles east, and the western suburbs' air freight trucks in from there via I-88 and I-355. One quirk sets DPA apart – the airport authority runs its own 18-hole championship golf course on the property, subsidizing operations one tee time at a time.
