Departure & Arrival Airports

Origin

Miami, FL

Miami is the gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, a global hub for finance, trade, and luxury real estate. The South Florida private aviation market is one of the busiest in the nation, with Opa-Locka Executive Airport (OPF) dedicated entirely to general aviation. The Fort Lauderdale corridor adds additional capacity for charter operations.

Seasonal Considerations

Peak season runs November through April with snowbird demand driving prices higher. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms that can delay departures by 1–2 hours. Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally impacts operations, though most storms are well-forecasted.

Destination

New York, NY

New York City is the financial and cultural center of the United States, home to Wall Street, Fortune 500 headquarters, and world-class dining and entertainment. For private aviation, Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey is the premier choice — just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan with no commercial airline traffic and dedicated FBO terminals.
