The Schaumburg Municipal Helistop (FAA LID: 4H1) is a public-use heliport located in and owned by the Village of Schaumburg, Illinois. Established in 1989, Schaumburg was the first Chicago suburb with a public-use heliport.
The Village of Schaumburg also maintains the Schaumburg Regional Airport, a separate facility capable of handling fixed-wing aircraft and those that cannot take off or land vertically.
In 2022, Braziliain aircraft manufacturer Embraer proposed using the Schaumburg Municipal Helistop as a base to perform proving runs on its Eve eVTOL aircraft. Embraer's goal was to prove what air taxi service can look like.
