First flight into and out of this airport Posted by E-Squared33 on May 7, 2017

While I do have Midway listed as part of the airports that I have flown into and out of, this will, as of July 16th, be an official statement. I will be flying into and out of Chicago-Midway International Airport for the first time this coming summer.

There's a station for the "L" train Orange Line in the terminal: ~25 minutes to downtown and the Loop.

This is where Porter Airlines flies from downtown Toronto.

The Busiest Square Mile in Aviation Posted by rodrakic on April 23, 2008

Midway is my home 'drome.

It's an amazing place. Commercial, Biz, and general aviation all in one square mile patch of city.

Everything from SWA 737s, to Lears, and down to 152s... 3 FBOs, 2 Flight Schools...

I love this place.
