The Chicago/Rockford International Airport currently has just over 100 tenants, some leasing just the land (ground lease) and others leasing buildings. A handful of tenants occupy two or more buildings.

Tenants fall into two basic categories: Industrial/Commerical and Aviation

Industrial Tenants
Industrial tenants include: manufacturers, packagers, and warehouses. Commercial tenants are few in number as all Airport properties zoned Light Industrial require a zoning variance to operate a retail business.

Industrial tenants are located primarily "outside the fence" (the official airport perimeter) as they do not require access to the primary business of any airport - flight!

Aviation Tenants
The following types of aviation tenants operate "inside the fence" so that they can access the runways:

• Companies in the aviation or aircraft industries
• Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) - gas station for aircraft providing other limited aviation services such as: cargo handling, meal prep, counter service
• Passenger Service Airlines
• Corporate Aviation

General Aviation including t-hangar tenants who house their privately-owned aircraft in buildings designed for 10-15 planes. RFD owns three t-hangar buildings housing 34 tenants. There are two other t-hangar owners who are Airport tenants: Moreland Enterprises (two buildings at the NE corner of the airport) and the Owners Association located at midfield on Cessna Drive.

Approximately 40% of our tenants occupy t-hangars, 40% are industrial with the balance being aviation-based.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

The EFT process eliminates paperwork saving you the cost of checks while assuring timely monthly payments are made.  Payments are automatic and confidential from a bank account of your designation on the first business day of each month.  We cannot process any payment not authorized by you, or access or view any other account activity.

In the interest of your time and cost – and ours – we urge you to consider using EFT as a method for making your monthly lease payment.  Please complete the below authorization agreement and forward it to our Finance Department.

If you have concerns or questions, please contact Coralee Cook at (815) 969-4411 or email ccook@flyrfd.com.
