Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE)
pin 8 miles north of downtown Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) sits only eight miles north of downtown Fort Lauderdale. As an executive airport that solely offers private jet and general aviation services, FXE is the perfect option for private fliers with business downtown. FXE does not, however, offer customs services.

Fort Lauderdale/hollywood Intl (FLL)
pin 5 miles south of the city center

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) sits only five miles south of the city center and offers 24-7 customs services. However, as the main entry point for all travelers to Fort Lauderdale, FLL sees considerable traffic and is not recommended for private fliers looking for the most exclusive flight experience.

Boca Raton (BCT)
pin 24 miles north of Fort Lauderdale

Boca Raton Airport (BCT) is in Boca Raton about 24 miles north of Fort Lauderdale. Like FXE and HWO, BCT primarily serves private jets. Boca Raton Airport also offers customs services between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., making it a good alternative to FLL for fliers coming from outside the United States.

Opa- Locka Executive (OPF)
pin 17 miles south of Fort Lauderdale

Opa-Locka Airport (OPF) sits 17 miles south of Fort Lauderdale and 11 miles north of Miami. This convenient location is perfect for private fliers with business in both southern Florida cities and the surrounding area. Like BCT, OPF also offers customs services for private jets.

Fort Lauderdale has something everyone will enjoy. Take a private jet to Florida for a relaxing family vacation or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or a bachelorette party.
