Miami Private Aviation

South Florida's Gateway
to the World

Miami is one of the busiest private aviation markets in the United States — a gateway to the Caribbean, Latin America, and the US northeast corridor. Whether you're departing for a same-day meeting in New York, a weekend in the Bahamas, or a transcontinental crossing to Los Angeles, Chronos Air Group provides curated access to the right aircraft, the right crew, and the right terminal.

As a Jetstreme Aviation LLC operation, every Miami departure is arranged around your schedule — not a carrier's. From Opa-locka Executive to Fort Lauderdale, we match each trip to the aircraft category that best fits your route, party size, and comfort requirements.

Everything You Need to Know About Flying Private from Miami

Which Airport Should I Use for Private Jet Departures in Miami?

For most Miami-based clients, Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the preferred departure point. Dedicated entirely to business aviation with no commercial traffic, OPF is conveniently located north of downtown with fast ramp access and streamlined handling. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) is the better choice for Broward County clients, and offers a wider FBO selection and more ramp capacity for larger aircraft.

Palm Beach International (PBI) serves clients in the northern Palm Beach corridor. Miami International (MIA) is recommended primarily for international departures requiring full customs infrastructure or specific intercontinental routing.

How Much Does a Private Jet Charter from Miami Cost?

Pricing varies primarily by aircraft category and route. As a general guide for South Florida departures:

  • Light jets (e.g., Phenom 300): $3,500–$6,000 per flight hour, ideal for Bahamas, New York, and short hops
  • Midsize jets (e.g., Citation XLS+): $5,500–$9,000 per hour, suited for cross-country routes to LA, Aspen, or Chicago
  • Heavy and ultra-long-range jets (e.g., G650, Global 7500): $9,500–$18,000+ per hour for transcontinental and transatlantic routes

Chronos Air Group provides all-inclusive pricing on request so there are no surprises on the day of departure.

Can I Fly to the Bahamas or Caribbean by Private Jet from Miami?

Yes, and this is one of Miami's most popular private aviation use cases. Nassau (NAS) is approximately 45 minutes from Opa-locka by light jet. The Exumas, Turks and Caicos, and other island destinations are similarly accessible. International customs clearance is required for most Caribbean departures. We handle all coordination including customs, overflight permits, and ground handling at destination.

Can I Fly to Latin America from Miami by Private Jet?

Miami is the primary private jet gateway to Latin America. Common routes include Bogotá, Medellín, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Depending on the destination, midsize or heavy jets are typically required for range and passenger comfort. Our team handles all international permits, customs filings, and ground logistics end-to-end.
