Northwest Flyers began as an FBO in Schaumburg in 1986 founded by pilot Skip Barchfeld. Today it includes a flight school, air charter service and aircraft maintenance shop. We also offer a flight school and aircraft management program. Skip has logged over 37 years of professional aviation experience. His passion for flying is now shared by his son, Justin, who is the chief pilot for Northwest Flyers.

Located in Schaumburg, Illinois, just 8 miles west of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, we bring you all the joys of flight, with the convenience and personal touch of a local community airport.

Charter a personal or business flight, even on short notice. Keep your aircraft busy and maintained in your absence with our leaseback program. Fuel up, rest up, and tune up between flight legs. Begin or expand your piloting skills.
