Tampa Intl (TPA)
pin 6 miles west of downtown Tampa

Tampa International Airport (TPA) is located six miles west of downtown Tampa. As the main airport for the city, TPA sees high traffic, features an impressive 11,000-foot runway for long-range flights and has a 24-7 full-service customs facility. However, this high traffic makes TPA a less common destination for private charter flights.

St Petersburg-clearwater Intl (PIE)
pin 20 miles northwest of the city center

St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) is situated 20 miles northwest of the city center and offers scheduled airline service and private flights. As a quieter alternative to TPA, PIE is a great destination for private fliers to Tampa and has limited customs services available during business hours. PIE is also conveniently located close to Clearwater Beach.

Tampa Executive (VDF)
pin 8 miles east of downtown Tampa

Tampa Executive Airport (VDF) sits eight miles east of downtown Tampa and is the best destination for private fliers with business downtown.
