In their words

Flightstar has been in business as the Fixed Base Operator at Champaign-Urbana’s Willard Airport (KCMI) since December of 1978 and is the only Fixed Base Operator to have ever operated at this airport. From the beginning with just a flight training operation and a single aircraft, three employees that operated out of a construction trailer; Flightstar has grown into a well-respected full-service FBO and MRO facility employing over 160 remarkable people.

Flightstar’s facilities encompass nearly half of the airport grounds. Our 10,000 square foot corporate terminal facility and 127,000 square foot maintenance facilities are state-of-the-art and are easily on par with the finest facilities in the country.

Outstanding first experience at Flightstar (CMI). Their team delivered a level of service fully aligned with VIP and private‑aviation expectations. Staff were exceptionally attentive, the facility was immaculate, and coordination was seamless from the moment we arrived. Our vehicles were granted direct tarmac access to the aircraft, allowing for a smooth, discreet, and efficient transfer—exactly what our high‑profile clients require. We routinely operate through Signature and Atlantic locations, and Flightstar demonstrated service quality on par with leading FBOs in the industry. Professional, polished, and highly impressive operation. B. P. Director of Operations Executive Secure

Got a tour of the facilities from a pilot while I was here. Just stunning! So modern & clean; very slick updates throughout. Everyone I passed said hello with a smile. Seemed to have a fully stocked kitchen for refilling the galley as well. Great selection of wines on hand. Went into the hanger to check on a jet. Spotless. Seems like they house all kinds of aircraft. The mechanic explained some larger systems to me. Such a cool experience! Nice of him to take a few moments of time to share his passion. From dispatch & desk to mechanics & fuel guys. The whole team is just so kind. Better looking place than Chicago Executive even! From a high-end Global to a efficient Leer, they seem to keep it all very tip-top. If you need a home base to maintain & staff your PJ this would make an excellent choice.

One of the best FBO's I've been to in the country. All the staff helpful in every way. Awesome Maintenance. The most amazing amenities in an FBO I've seen to include not just espresso maker, but countertop icemaker, crew lounge, crew sleep room, Crew exercise room. Wish I could leave you a video. Impeccably clean and tidy FBO. A country club gorgeous bathroom with shower. Lots of rental cars available for a good price. No charge for Parking and reasonable fuel prices make this a great stop
