Private Jet Charter in Fort Lauderdale – Tailored Freedom

Fort Lauderdale, nicknamed the "Venice of America," is a dynamic coastal city in Florida, renowned for its magnificent beaches, navigable canals, and luxurious ambiance. It is a popular destination for tourism and business, offering privileged access to the Caribbean and South America.

From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Private Jets Connect ensures an…

Which aircraft for a flight
to or from Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale's main airport (FLL) accommodates all types of private jets, from the smallest to the largest. However, for flights to the Bahamas or nearby Caribbean, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), located 13 km north, is often more suitable for turboprops and mid-size jets. Here are three typical scenarios.

Private Jet Charter Fort Lauderdale (FLL) — The Bahamas and nearby Caribbean

The Bahamas and nearby Caribbean

Nassau 45 min · Havana 55 min · Cancun 1 h 30

This is the heart of Fort Lauderdale traffic: short, often round-trip in a day. A turboprop is suitable for the short runways of the islands and remains economical; a very-light-jet or a light jet adds pressurization and superior cabin comfort, useful for flights over an hour. KFXE is the natural departure point for these hops: no landing fees at major FBOs, on-site customs, morning departures without commercial traffic delays.

Turboprop King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, TBM 940

The East Coast and more distant islands

New York 2 h 30 · Montego Bay 1 h 45 · Chicago 2 h 45

For a trip up to New York, Boston, or Washington, or to more distant islands like Jamaica, a midsize jet is the typical aircraft: stand-up cabin, full galley, and range that avoids layovers. A super-midsize jet is ideal for groups of eight to ten passengers or for Caribbean legs stretching further southeast.

Midsize Jet Citation XLS+, Learjet 60, Hawker 900XP

Los Angeles 5 h 30 · London 8 h · São Paulo 8 h 30

Los Angeles non-stop, crossing the Atlantic to London or Paris, this is the domain of the heavy jet with its approximately 7,600 km range. For São Paulo or a direct flight to Madrid, the ultra-long-range jet takes over: private suite, lie-flat beds, and an onboard chef for long durations. KFLL's runways accommodate all aircraft categories without restriction.

An empty leg to Fort Lauderdale,
if the sky lines up.

An empty leg to or from Fort Lauderdale is a repositioning flight already on the schedule: the aircraft needs to reach another base or its next mission. These trips are offered at a reduced fare, often around 30% to 75% off a classic charter, in exchange for less flexibility on dates and routing.

On every enquiry, we systematically scan the sky for these opportunities. The goal: whenever possible, a more competitive quote, on price as well as on the aircraft category available.

Understanding the Price

What determines the price of a flight to Fort Lauderdale

In Fort Lauderdale, the price is shaped by three main factors. First, the choice of airport: KFLL is a busy international airport with dedicated bizav FBOs but higher landing fees and ground costs than KFXE. Fort Lauderdale Executive, five miles north, is a purely bizav airport with no landing fees at major FBOs, often making it more economical for short flights to the Bahamas or Florida.

Next, the destination and duration. Flights to the Bahamas or nearby Caribbean are very short, from 45 minutes to two hours: the empty leg repositioning of the aircraft weighs proportionally more in the quote than for a long-haul flight where it is diluted. A same-day round trip to Nassau and an transatlantic crossing to Paris are not in the same category.

Finally, the season. Fort Lauderdale experiences its high season from November to April, when the Florida sun attracts international clientele and superyachts return from the Mediterranean summer. The absolute peak: the week of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 28 - November 1, 2026, 67th edition), when slots and parking become scarce at both airports and private jet demand exceeds available supply. Booking early is crucial during this week.

AIRPORT & PRIVATE SERVICES

FLL or Executive: Two Gateways to Fort Lauderdale

Two airports. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood is the main airport, 5 km southwest of the city center, international, open 24/7, with permanent customs. Two runways, 2,743 m and 2,438 m, accommodating small jets to large aircraft. Five companies receive private flights.

Fort Lauderdale Executive, 13 km to the north, has no scheduled flights. The tower is open 24/7, with a main runway of 1,829 m. Customs there operates from 8 AM to midnight, seven days a week.

Flights to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, in light or medium jets, depart from the Executive airport. Heavy international and long-distance flights depart from Hollywood.

The other gateway to Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale Executive

FXE / KFXE

Approx. 13 km from city center (10-12 min)

Main runway 09/27: 1,829 m (6,002 ft), 24/7 control tower, customs 8 am-midnight 7 days a week. Free Trade Zone FTZ 241. No landing fees at major FBOs (Banyan Air Service). Natural departure point for the Bahamas and nearby Caribbean for light and midsize jets.

Ground welcome

You land. Everything is already in place.

Upon your arrival

At both airports, customs and car pickup are handled at the private terminal. From Hollywood, Port Everglades and the marinas are ten minutes away. From the Executive airport, five miles (about 8 km) separate the aircraft from the city center, with direct access to the I-95 highway.

Door-to-door service

Your journey doesn't end on the runway

In Fort Lauderdale, your chauffeur will meet you at the aircraft, right outside the FBO. From KFLL, Port Everglades, Las Olas Boulevard, and the waterfront marinas are ten minutes away. From KFXE, five miles separate the tarmac from downtown, with direct access to I-95.

Helicopter transfer

Helicopter, to connect marinas and islands

Helicopter rotations from KFLL or KFXE reach Broward County marinas, Palm Beach, or certain offshore anchorages in minutes. Convenient when traffic is heavy on I-95 or to directly reach a superyacht at Port Everglades without using the road.

Hollywood gets busy during Boat Show week

Private jets have their own terminals, separate from commercial flights. During that week, and in high season, slots and times fill up quickly. At Sheltair, Bahamian formalities can be completed before takeoff: the aircraft lands in Nassau without waiting for customs upon arrival.

The Executive, until midnight

The FAA designates it as the natural departure point for the Bahamas. No landing fees at Banyan Air Service. On-site customs until midnight. No waiting behind a scheduled flight. The airport is also a Free Trade Zone (FTZ 241), which can simplify freight or import procedures.

The Yachting Capital of the World

Where Private Aviation and Luxury Yachting Converge

Fort Lauderdale officially holds the title of “Yachting Capital of the World.” This is more than just a slogan: Broward County boasts over 100 marinas, Port Everglades is among the busiest cruise and yachting ports in the United States, and the city’s navigable canals wind through villas whose docks host superyachts from 40 to 80 meters.

The link with private aviation is direct and functional. High-end yacht buyers visiting Fort Lauderdale almost invariably arrive by private jet, often at KFXE: the bizav airport is five miles from the center and allows transit from tarmac to marina in twenty minutes, without commercial traffic queues. Conversely, owners wintering in Florida make frequent round trips to the Bahamas or Caribbean from KFXE, which serves as a logistical base for these weekly hops.

This combination of jets and yachts explains why private jet demand in Fort Lauderdale concentrates during specific periods and reacts strongly to the nautical calendar, more so than to any other factor.

Season Calendar

Fort Lauderdale: The Rhythm of Yachting and High Season

Oct 28 - Nov 1, 2026

FLIBS, the absolute peak The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (67th edition) brings together over 100,000 visitors, 1,000 exhibitors, and 1,300 boats across 90 acres at seven nautical sites. This is the week when slots, FBOs, and hotels are most strained throughout the season: book your jet and accommodation several weeks in advance.

November to April

Florida High Season The heart of the season: East Coast clients escaping winter, villa and superyacht owners in residence, sustained Bahamas traffic. High demand and corresponding prices at both airports.

May to October

Low Season and Hurricane Season Summer in Florida is hot and humid. Hurricane season officially runs from June to November. Private jet traffic drops significantly, and so do prices. The window for those with flexibility.

Formalities and safety

FLL or KFXE: which airport to choose for a private flight?

FLL (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International) is the option for international flights with customs upon arrival, long-haul flights, and large aircraft: two runways up to 2,743 m, five FBOs, 24/7 customs. KFXE (Fort Lauderdale Executive) is the city’s purely bizav airport: no commercial traffic, main runway at 1,829 m, customs from 8 am to midnight 7 days a week, with no landing fees at major FBOs. For a Bahamas or East Coast flight in a light or midsize jet, KFXE is often faster on the ground and more economical.

What is Bahamas pre-clearance available at KFLL?

Bahamas pre-clearance allows Bahamian customs and immigration formalities to be completed on US soil before takeoff. Sheltair at KFLL offers this service on its dedicated ramp: the aircraft lands in Nassau without customs queues upon arrival. This is a concrete advantage for very short Nassau flights (45 minutes), where waiting for formalities would otherwise represent a significant portion of the transit time.

When do slots and parking become most constrained in Fort Lauderdale?

The week of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 28 - November 1 in 2026, 67th edition) is the absolute peak: over 100,000 visitors, dense private jet traffic at both airports, full hotels and marinas. The Florida high season in general (November to April) maintains strong demand. For Boat Show week, booking several weeks in advance is highly recommended.

Can one reach the Bahamas non-stop from Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. Nassau is 310 km away, a 45-minute flight. A turboprop or a very-light-jet can make the trip non-stop, directly from KFXE. For other islands in the archipelago, distances remain short: Eleuthera at 520 km, Exuma at 650 km, without changing aircraft. Bahamian customs are to be expected upon arrival, unless Bahamas pre-clearance is activated from KFLL.

What are the night restrictions at KFLL?

KFLL operates 24/7 for operations: landings and takeoffs are possible at any time. Engine run-up restrictions apply from 11 pm to 7 am for noise reasons, but without impacting the flights themselves. KFXE also has active noise abatement procedures, which should be checked with the handler depending on the departure time.

How to reach a yacht or marina from the airport?

From KFLL, Port Everglades is a ten-minute drive. From KFXE, Fort Lauderdale marinas are about fifteen minutes away. A helicopter transfer from the airport can also directly reach certain marinas or an offshore anchorage, avoiding traffic on I-95. This jet-helicopter-yacht connection is coordinated in advance, depending on rotation availability.
