what our clients say
Customer Experiences
“The customer service I received last week was outstanding."
“My aircraft spent a week at J.A. Air Center's facility, grounded due to weather. Twice I had to return home without my aircraft. From the girls behind the reception desk to the line personnel to the FBO Operations Manager, Randy, the staff could not have been more helpful, always quick to let me use the courtesy car to and from the local hotel or to go off airport to lunch.
Even though requesting only one night in the hangar, they kept my plane there an additional two nights without charge. The lobby is spacious and comfortable with numerous chairs overlooking the ramp. There is a pilot quiet lounge with comfortable easy chairs and TV. In the large eating area, there is always fresh coffees and cookies available, even late at night. There is also a nice flight planning area with computer and printer. I will look forward to flying in to J.A. Air Center again.”
— Drew Bondy, FBO Services
"We sincerely thank you and the staff of J.A. Air for a wonderful experience."
“On behalf of all three generations of the Effgen family, I want to tell you how pleased we all were with J.A. Air Charter's Service during our recent trip to and from Mackinac Island. Both pilots were professional and personable and did everything possible to make both legs of our trip pleasant and enjoyable. The planes were extremely comfortable and exceptionally clean.
I did a considerable amount of research before choosing J.A. Air Charter and I can tell you that your pricing and sales terms were vastly superior to many of the other charter services that I contacted. If you ever need a reference, I would be happy to be of assistance.
From everyone on our trip, we sincerely thank you and the staff of J.A. Air Charter for a wonderful experiences.”
— Rick Effgen, Charter
"I now have an FBO that I'm happy with in SW Chicago and can't wait to return."
“I have been using DuPage for our passengers for two years and have gotten tired of the fuel prices, flying right over Aurora while in the descent, the never-ending remodeling job, and walking close to a quarter of a mile from our plane to our passengers cars.
I gave J.A. Air Center at Aurora a try today and I'm impressed. Our passengers were very pleased with the service and I am more than happy with the fuel pricing.
Plenty of places to relax for passengers and pilots, quiet rooms, and a workout room with a shower are all amenities that I will use in the future. I now have an FBO that I'm happy with in SW Chicago and can't wait to return.”
— Keith Parker, FBO Services
"I would recommend J.A. Air Center's Aircraft detailing"
“ConAgra foods aircraft are operated to the highest standards. This includes keeping
our aircraft looking their best. The folks at J.A. Air Center have a world-class on site & mobile aircraft detailing group, RealClean.
We trust their employees for any detailing, inside and out, from routine cleaning to full detailing and bright work polishing. They are knowledgeable and technically abreast of all aircraft cleaning protocols.
I would recommend J.A. Air Center's RealClean Aircraft detailing group to any aircraft operators in the Chicago area.”
— Tex Hunter, Chief Pilot Chicago Base ConAgra Foods, Aircraft Detailing
