Miami-Opa Locka Executive

US CBP on the field daily 09:00–24:00 with one hour’s advance notice (extended hours on three hours’ notice); after-hours arrivals divert to MIA’s general aviation facility.

Opa-locka is where Miami’s serious private aviation happens: an all-business-aviation field with one of the longest GA runways in the United States, on-field customs, no curfew, and five FBOs competing for the landing — a rare luxury in itself.

Chartering from Opa-locka

For long-haul, this is Miami’s natural doorway. The 2,439-metre runway plus around-the-clock operations make it the preferred entry for transatlantic missions — our Miami to London lane runs from €150,000 all-in on an ultra long range jet, nine hours of block time — while New York to Miami starts at €18,500 on a super light. Customs clears on the field from 09:00 to midnight with an hour’s notice; late arrivals either extend by arrangement or clear at MIA’s GA facility, a choice we make when the itinerary is built, not on approach.

Facilities

Fontainebleau Aviation anchors the field with a hangar campus that swallows BBJ-class aircraft; Signature, Atlantic, Jet Aviation and Embassair — the last with its own dedicated customs ramp — round out the choice. Planeside car access is standard, Brickell is about thirty-five minutes, South Beach thirty.

Frequently asked questions

Which airport do private jets use in Miami?

Mostly Opa-locka for executive and long-haul traffic — the runway, on-field customs and 24-hour operations make it the capable choice over the smaller GA fields.

How much is a private jet from Miami to London?

From €150,000 all-in on an ultra long range jet — an indicative from-price on our block-hour model.

Can you land at Opa-locka at night?

Yes — there is no curfew. The tower closes at 23:00 and the field continues under standard non-towered procedures; customs after midnight is the only piece that needs pre-arrangement.
