Departure airports in South Florida
Private clients typically depart from Miami-area airports such as Opa-locka Executive (OPF) or from Miami International (MIA), and we can also work from Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. We choose the airport that suits your starting point and the aircraft.
Why light jets work well here
At roughly two to two and a half hours, most trips from South Florida to the Dominican Republic suit a light jet for up to six passengers. For larger parties, midsize or heavy aircraft add cabin space. Because the route is short, the hourly rate matters less than positioning and fees, which we itemise in every quote.
