Flightcheck Commercial Aviation Services was founded in 2004 as an aircraft maintenance provider and began operations at Chicago O’Hare in April 2006. We are now the largest commercial line maintenance provider in the Chicago area, providing technical handling, aircraft de-icing, and limited ground handling for over 25 Domestic and International Airlines at O’Hare Int’l Airport. Since 2015, we have expanded our line maintenance locations to include Washington-Dulles Int’l (IAD), Baltimore / Washington Int’l (BWI), Las Vegas McCarren Int’l (LAS), Chicago-Rockford Int’l (RFD), Bradley Int’l (BDL), and Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT).
We are an FAA and EASA certified part 145 repair station and hold several other government approvals. We employ ATA 104 Level III trained Aircraft Engineers and are release certified on most of our customers. Flightcheck also has its own FAA approved type specific in-house training program and trains to EASA part 147 equivalent standards. Flightcheck engineers provide 24/7/365 coverage with a full complement of support vehicles and tooling for all fleet types. We have agreements for hangar access when required. Additionally, we can provide specialty tooling and manpower such as NDT, and we can assist customers in sourcing spares from other airlines, IATP Partners or outside vendors.

Aircraft de-icing is performed by our qualified de-ice personnel and aircraft engineers with twelve Trump 2000-2 de-ice units 24 hours a day. All de-ice procedures and fluid accounting will be closely monitored plane-side by our De-Ice Coordinator, ensuring the same professionalism and dependability provided with our technical handling is instilled into our deice operation.
Flightcheck utilizes the proven technology of Cryotech’s Polar type 1 and 4 fluids for their outstanding holdover times and fully biodegradable properties. Our competition simply cannot provide a higher margin of safety and quality.
Our de-ice personnel are acutely aware of aircraft systems and “Do Not Spray” areas versus our competition, therefore eliminating costly fluid ingestion incidents and APU flameouts. Our de-ice team, with a higher level of training and experience, used an average of 10% less fluid than other de-ice providers during the 2015 – 2016 season, and routinely spray wide-body aircraft in less than 20 minutes. This efficiency is achieved through proper staffing and staging of equipment. We do not show up to your aircraft with one truck, as the importance of schedule and holdover times are paramount. Bottom line – less fluid and less time equal lower cost.
