About Art Basel Miami Beach
Art Basel Miami Beach is the premier art fair in the Americas, showcasing leading galleries from across the globe alongside world-class exhibitions, performances, and installations. Miami Art Week transforms South Beach into a cultural epicentre where art collectors, gallery owners, celebrities, and luxury brand executives converge.
The event’s satellite fairs, oceanfront parties, and exclusive VIP previews make it one of the most in-demand private jet weekends in the United States. Opa-Locka Executive operates at peak capacity throughout the week, with significant additional Latin American inbound traffic from São Paulo, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires.
For domestic clients, light and midsize jets handle the New York and Chicago corridors comfortably. From LA, super-midsize aircraft are the standard. Transatlantic and South American clients lean on heavy and ultra-long-range jets. Early booking is essential, particularly for the VIP preview Tuesday departure window.
