Chicago is the Midwest's private-aviation hub, with Midway and DuPage serving the city's finance and corporate base. Sun-belt and coastal business runs anchor demand. On the Chicago end, private flights usually use Chicago Midway International (MDW) and DuPage (DPA), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.

At 136 miles this is light jets territory: aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 40m. Demand into Chicago peaks around the fall business season and winter escapes to Florida, when repositioning flights, and so empty legs, are most frequent.

An empty leg from Grand Rapids to Chicago exists because an operator has to fly the aircraft along this route anyway, to reach its next client or to return to base, so it sells that one-way flight for the whole aircraft, typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter. The departure time follows the operator's schedule. If your dates are fixed, a full charter on the same route lets you choose the time.
