Get an instant quoteOpa-Locka Executive Airport (OPF) is Miami’s premier private aviation hub, located 16km north of downtown Miami. The airport handles the bulk of Miami-bound private jet traffic with two world-class FBOs and 24-hour operations.
The airport’s 2,591m runway accepts all business aircraft up to heavy and ultra-long-range jets. Two FBOs operate on-airport: Fontainebleau Aviation and Signature Flight Support. Both offer full US Customs and Border Protection clearance, hangarage, catering, and concierge services tailored to the Miami luxury market.
Peak demand is concentrated around Art Basel Miami Beach in early December (the single busiest week), the Miami Grand Prix in May, the Miami International Boat Show in February, and Latin American holiday travel patterns. OPF is also the standard departure point for Bahamas charters, with Nassau just 45 minutes away on a light jet.

Frequently asked questions: OPF
Why choose Opa-Locka over Miami International?
OPF is dedicated to private aviation with no commercial delays, faster processing, and better FBO facilities. Miami International (MIA) has VIP terminals but is busier with airline traffic.
How busy is Opa-Locka during Art Basel?
Extremely busy. Art Basel Miami Beach in early December is the single busiest week of the year at OPF, with handling slots booked weeks in advance. Booking 6 to 10 weeks ahead during Art Basel week is essential.
Can I fly to the Bahamas from Opa-Locka?
Yes. Opa-Locka to Nassau is one of the most-flown private aviation corridors in North America, taking just 45 minutes on a light jet. Onward Bahamas island routing is available via turboprops to private airstrips.
Is yacht coordination available?
Yes. Both Fontainebleau Aviation and Signature Flight Support handle yacht coordination, including transfers between OPF and Miami Beach Marina, Sunset Harbour, or onward to the Bahamas.
