Top international and private jet airports in Florida

Here’s a list of international private jet airports to choose from when traveling from Florida:

  • Miami International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in the Sunshine State. Located eight miles northwest of downtown Miami, the airport is a common choice for both private and commercial flights, but expect large crowds around the clock.

It’s known for offering discreet and personalized service to private jet travelers and has a number of FBO facilities such as VIP lounges, showers and concierge services.
  • Tampa International Airport is consistently ranked as one of the best airports in the country. It’s located only six miles west of downtown Tampa in Hillsborough County.
  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Florida, second only to Miami International Airport. It’s located three miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale in Broward County.
  • Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport is ideal if you want to avoid the bustling main airport. With five FBOs on site, there are plenty of luxury facilities available, such as complimentary Wi-Fi and catering, luxury lounges, bars and cafés.
  • Palm Beach International Airport is located in the West Palm Beach area, just 20 miles from Boca Raton. It has been expanded and renovated over the past 10 years and is one of the most impressive airports in the area today. Its three FBOs offer luxury lounges, catering and free Wi-Fi.
  • Boca Raton Airport is located between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach and has been operating as an international airport since the addition of customs facilities in 2017. There are two FBOs on offer with luxury facilities and services for private jet travelers.

Nevada has plenty to offer its visitors, from the famous Las Vegas Strip lined with upscale casino hotels and world-class entertainment to Lake Tahoe, known for its pristine beaches and ski resorts. Whatever your reason for visiting Nevada, chartering a private jet with ACS is guaranteed to be a premium traveling experience.

Here are some of the top airports to choose from if you’re visiting Nevada:

  • McCarran Las Vegas Airport is the main gateway to casino capital Las Vegas. Located at the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip, McCarran Las Vegas Airport is the biggest commercial airport serving the Las Vegas Valley. With a number of airport lounges on offer, McCarran caters to those seeking luxury and privacy. The airport operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Reno–Tahoe International Airport is a public and military airport located three miles southeast of downtown Reno in Washoe County. It’s the state's second-busiest commercial airport after McCarran International Airport.
  • The Henderson Executive Airport is a public airport located just over 13 miles south of Las Vegas’ central business district (CBD). Due to lower slot constraints in comparison to Las Vegas McCarren Airport, it’s the ideal gateway when flying by private jet.
  • Boulder City Municipal Airport is located just over one mile southwest of Boulder City’s CBD in Clark County. It’s located approximately 26 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
  • Grand Canyon National Park Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located seven miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The airport is ideal for those wishing to take in the sights of the Grand Canyon by private plane or helicopter, but there is scheduled commercial service too.

  • Carson Airport (Carson City Airport) is three miles northeast of Carson City, the capital of Nevada.
