Where Everything's Covered

As the midwest’s leading aviation support facility, J.A. Air center sets the standard for service at competitive prices. Fueling and maintenance services are available 24/7, 365.


FBO stands for “fixed-base operator.” Just think of FBOs as private jet companies that are given access to use an airport and some or all of the amenities that come with that. Other FBOs might have their own specific amenities. Those who fly recreationally or charter private flights tend to do so with fixed-based operators – but FBO services often consist of more than just transportation services, but amenities too. Read on to learn more about our FBO services.

what our clients say

Customer Experiences

"Everyone is so friendly and helpful."

“I spent a couple of hours at J.A. Air yesterday while waiting for my transponder/pitot/static check to be done in their avionics shop. This has got to be one of the nicest GA facilities anywhere! I brought a computer and found a desk in a quiet area from where I could get some work done while waiting.


Everyone is so friendly and helpful...I wish I had a reason to go there more often!”


— Martin Pauly, Aircraft Services

"Their facilities are beautiful and comfortable."

“What an incredible FBO. They were awesome to deal with from the first phone call I made to start the arrangements through our departure. Everybody I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. Everybody I encountered was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Their facilities are beautiful and comfortable and their prices are very reasonable. You get a lot more service from them than you will at most other FBOs around the country.


If you are stopping in Aurora, do yourself a favor and use J.A. while you're there...You won't regret it. ”


— Kelly Vinton, FBO Services

"I will be an advocate for J.A."

“Thank you for representing me in the sale of my Cessna 182. You addressed any concerns or input of mine. I appreciate that a lot of conversation and work went on behind the scenes for this effort to be successful.


Because of this, my sale was expedited, in spite of a difficult economic environment. I will be an advocate for J.A. and your services.”


— Paul Homerding, Aircraft Sales

"I highly recommend this place!"

“I routinely fly into Aurora, and J.A. Air's Service and Support are incredible! Whether you fly a Luscomb or a Lear, they always roll out the red carpet and treat you right! I highly recommend this place!”


— Pat Schmitz, FBO Services
