When private jets head to Miami, many skip Miami International and land at Miami-Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF). It is a general aviation airport in northern Miami-Dade, run by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, and it is one of the busiest private aviation fields in Florida. Here is what to know before you land, and how an Opa-locka airport car service fits in.
Why fly into OPF?
OPF has no scheduled airline terminal, so there are no crowds, no long walks and no customs lines like at MIA. Its location is a big plus too: it is closer to Bal Harbour, Surfside, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura and Hard Rock Stadium than Miami International is.
FBOs at Opa-locka
- Fontainebleau Aviation, 14200 NW 42nd Ave
- Signature Flight Support, 15001 NW 42nd Ave

Each FBO has its own lounge and rules on vehicle access to the ramp. We confirm the arrangements with your FBO ahead of time, so your car is in the right place.
How a pickup works
- Send us your FBO, tail number and estimated arrival.
- We track the aircraft and adjust for early or late arrivals.
- Your chauffeur waits in the FBO lobby, or planeside where permitted.
- Luggage goes straight from the aircraft or lounge to the car.
Our clients say it best. One five-star Google review reads: “Right when landing in OPF until the hotel. Always on time and with great service.”
