✈️ Chicago KPWK Records 64 Business Jet Takeoffs and Landings in One Day
Chicago KPWK recorded 64 business jet takeoffs and landings on September 27, 2026, below the daily average for the preceding four days. Avi-Go data show 31 departures and 33 arrivals at the airport on September 27. From September 21 through September 24, there were 499 takeoffs and landings in total, comprising 244 departures and 255 arrivals, for a daily average of 124.75. The September 27 total was 60.75 movements, or about 48.7%, below that four-day daily average. This is a short-window comparison involving different dates and different days of the week. It shows the gap between the airport’s activity on a single day and the preceding four-day daily average, not a direction of change over consecutive days.
Impact: For business aviation operators and ground handling providers using KPWK, these figures are better suited to checking actual activity on September 27 than to directly adjusting subsequent support arrangements. Departures and arrivals that day numbered 31 and 33, respectively, a difference of just two movements. The four-day benchmark covers September 21 through September 24 and cannot be treated as a same-day-of-week benchmark for September 27.
Recommendation: Track takeoffs and landings on subsequent Sundays at KPWK alongside the 64 recorded on September 27, while retaining the September 21–24 daily average of 124.75 as a reference drawn from different dates. If the figures are used to plan Sunday staffing, prioritize comparisons with records from the same day of the week and similar time periods rather than adjusting staffing directly based on the single 48.7% gap.
