Helicopter Transfer Chicago to Milwaukee

The short hop from Chicago to Milwaukee covers only around 78 nautical miles up the western shore of Lake Michigan, a distance perfectly suited to travel by helicopter. A capable machine such as the Airbus H130 is well matched to the route, carrying passengers north with the lake glittering to one side and the suburbs of the two cities passing below. The flight takes only minutes, replacing a drive of an hour and a half or more along Interstate 94, which is prone to heavy congestion on the approaches to both metropolitan areas, particularly during the weekday rush. Departures are arranged from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, one of the busiest hubs in the world, where travellers arriving on connecting flights can transfer to the helicopter and continue their journey without the delays of ground transport. Milwaukee, the destination, is the largest city in Wisconsin, set on the lakefront and known for its brewing heritage, its handsome civic architecture and the sweeping wings of the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Santiago Calatrava. The city’s summer festivals and revitalised riverfront have given it fresh appeal for business and leisure travellers alike. This route suits executives with commitments in both cities on the same day, sports and event guests heading north for a game or a concert, and travellers connecting through Chicago who wish to avoid the tedium of the interstate. Arriving by helicopter offers both speed and a memorable view of the Great Lakes shoreline, returning valuable time to a busy schedule and turning a routine transfer into a pleasure in itself.
