Welcome to WAPA, stay informed by joining our email list.
WAPA, the Waukegan Airport Pilot’s Association, was established to advocate for the best interests of its members. Those members include hangar owners and pilots who use the Waukegan National Airport(KUGN) as their primary base of operation. Representational issues include, but are not limited to, ongoing lease negotiations, airport maintenance programs, FAA interaction, the utilization of state and federal funding, and future capital improvements and expansion. WAPA aims to foster an open communication policy with airport management and the Waukegan Port Board by encouraging transparency in airport operations. WAPA seeks to gather feedback from airport users and provide it to the airport and Port District through its representation at relevant meetings.
Our organization exists through representing the interests of tenants and pilots at the Waukegan National Airport (KUGN). Inform your fellow friends and pilots about our organization and join our email list below to be kept up to date with our progress:
