The Difference

Commercial Airline vs Private Charter

Same destination, entirely different experience. Here's what changes when you fly private.

Flying Commercial

  • 2+ hours early at MIA — security, bag drop, long walks
  • Limited nonstop routes, connections through hubs
  • Shared cabin, no workspace, middle seat lottery
  • Strict weight limits, oversized fees, carousel wait
  • Fixed airline schedule, weather delays, rebooking queues
  • MIA congestion, terminal crowds, rideshare pickup chaos

Flying Private

  • Arrive 15 minutes before at Opa-locka or Fort Lauderdale FBO
  • Nonstop to any of 5,000+ airports — Bahamas, Caribbean, coast to coast
  • Your own cabin — hold a meeting, take a call, or just unwind
  • Bring golf clubs, dive gear, luggage — loaded planeside, no fees
  • Depart on your schedule. Running late? The aircraft waits for you
  • Private lounge, car meets you on the ramp, zero terminal time

The Miami Experience

The World's Best Gateway, Working for You.

Miami is not merely a city — it's a launching point. Positioned at the geographic crossroads of the Americas, South Florida sits uniquely close to the Caribbean basin while maintaining fast connections to the US East Coast, Europe, and Latin America. Private aviation makes all of this accessible on a single flexible platform.

The contrast between a commercial Miami departure and a private one is stark. At MIA, international departure queues begin 3–4 hours before wheels-up. At Opa-locka or Fort Lauderdale Executive, you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure, park at the FBO, and walk to the aircraft. The Atlantic can be waiting on the other side of an uncrowded ramp.

Whether you're heading to a Bahamian beach house, a New York boardroom, a London premiere, or a Buenos Aires business summit — Miami is your runway. We make sure the right aircraft is waiting at the right airport, at the right time, with every detail handled.

Why Fly Private

Travel That Works Around Your Life

Private aviation gives you back the thing that matters most — your time, spent exactly as you choose.

Miami: North America's International Departure Hub

South Florida's general aviation airports collectively form one of the busiest private aviation zones in the world. OPF and FXE alone handle tens of thousands of general aviation operations annually, with immediate access to the Caribbean, Latin America, and transatlantic routing.

Caribbean Access in Under an Hour

Nassau is 40 minutes from OPF by light jet. The Turks and Caicos are under an hour. Cuba, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic are within easy range of a midsize jet. No other major city in the US offers comparable access to this many island destinations at this proximity.

Year-Round Perfect Flying Weather

South Florida's flying weather is among the most reliable in the country. Occasional summer afternoon thunderstorms aside, Miami departures rarely encounter the ice, snow, or de-icing delays that affect northern airports for months each year.

South Florida FBO Network

Opa-locka and Fort Lauderdale Executive are home to some of the finest FBO facilities in the Southeast — Banyan Air Service, Signature, and Rectrix among them. Private lounges, concierge ground service, catering coordination, and ramp-side vehicle access come standard.

Flexible Departure Airport Options

Whether you're based in Brickell, Coral Gables, South Beach, Aventura, or Boca Raton — there's a private aviation airport within 45 minutes. We'll recommend the FBO that minimizes your ground time and gets you airborne fastest.

Depart on Your Timeline

Miami's energy runs late. Charter departures work around your schedule — whether that's a 6 AM flight to New York for a morning meeting, a midday Caribbean hop, or a late-night trans-Atlantic departure for a London opening. The FBO is ready when you are.

We Exist to Make This Easy

No fleet to fill, no upselling — just straightforward access to the right aircraft at the right price, handled by people who genuinely care how your trip goes.

Your Questions

Things People Ask Us Most

Honest answers to the questions we hear before every charter. If yours isn't here, just call us.

Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the preferred private aviation departure point for most Miami-area clients. It offers premium FBO facilities, direct ramp access, and none of the congestion of Miami International. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) is a strong alternative for clients in Broward County or Boca Raton, with equally excellent FBO facilities and less air traffic congestion.

The most frequently chartered routes from Miami include: Nassau and the Bahamas (40–50 min), New York Teterboro (2h 30m), Los Angeles Van Nuys (4h 50m), Turks and Caicos (1h 15m), and London Luton via fuel stop or on heavy jets (8–9h). Miami's geographic position makes it uniquely competitive for Caribbean, Latin American, and US East Coast destinations simultaneously.

Charter pricing from Miami varies by destination and aircraft category. A Bahamas light jet hop starts around $4,500–$7,500. A Miami to New York midsize charter runs $16,000–$24,000. A transatlantic crossing on a heavy jet starts around $120,000. We provide all-in transparent quotes within 60 minutes — no hidden positioning fees or ambiguous fuel surcharges.

Absolutely — this is one of the most active private aviation corridors in the world. Nassau (MYNN) is just 40 minutes from OPF by light jet; Exuma, Turks and Caicos, and the British Virgin Islands are all within comfortable reach of a midsize jet. We handle customs coordination and international flight planning for Caribbean departures as a standard part of the booking.

For most Miami departures, 24–72 hours notice is sufficient to secure a certified aircraft at a competitive rate. During peak periods — December holiday season, Art Basel, Super Bowl, and summer Hamptons season — we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance to ensure aircraft availability in your preferred category. Same-day bookings are often possible on domestic and Caribbean routes.

Yes — group charters from Miami are among our most common bookings. Midsize jets accommodate groups of 8–9; super-midsize jets up to 10–12; heavy jets up to 14–16 passengers. For very large groups, multiple aircraft operating in convoy can be coordinated from the same FBO with synchronized departures. We handle manifest, catering, and ground coordination for all passengers.

Opa-locka (OPF) is served by Banyan Air Service and Rectrix Aviation, both offering private lounges, concierge services, catering coordination, and ramp-side vehicle access. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) hosts Signature Aviation and Banyan FXE, equally equipped for premium departures. Both airports offer customs facilities for international departures and arrivals.

Yes — Miami is one of the most active empty leg markets in the US, driven by the volume of repositioning traffic for Caribbean, New York, and Latin American charter activity. Empty legs departing from OPF or FXE are frequently available at significant discounts, though dates and routes are fixed by the aircraft's operational schedule.
