Miami, FL
Art Basel, Yacht Week & Year-Round Sun
Miami is one of the most dynamic private aviation markets in the Western Hemisphere. From Art Basel in December to the Ultra Music Festival in March, high-profile events fill the calendar — and every one drives a surge in private jet demand. The city's Latin American connections also make it a top corporate aviation hub.
Opa-Locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the go-to for private clients seeking speed and discretion. With multiple FBOs, no commercial traffic, and customs on field, OPF delivers the seamless experience travelers expect. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) offers a strong alternative when OPF is at peak capacity.
