Private jet charter in Miami
We arrange private jet charter into and out of Miami. We don't fly the aircraft. This page covers how a quote gets built, who holds operational control, what we verify before a flight leaves, and where our money comes from.

How a Miami charter quote gets built
You tell us the city pair, the date, passenger count and rough baggage load. We come back with aircraft options and a price range per option. A one-way hop to Nassau, 161 nm, typically prices from $4,000 to $6,000 in a light jet. New York to Miami, 949 nm, runs $10,000 to $15,000 in the same class.
The range is wide because the market is. Light jet hourly rates sit between $3,800 and $5,800; heavy jets run $9,500 to $14,500. Aircraft availability on your date, crew positioning, and which of the four South Florida airports you use all move the number. Treat every figure as an estimate until an operator confirms a specific tail.
Who actually operates your flight
We are a broker. The flight is flown by an operator holding FAA Part 135 authority, and that operator holds operational control. That means the crew answers to them, their certificate covers the flight, and their procedures govern the trip. We don't own the aircraft and we don't direct the cockpit.
This matters when something changes. A mechanical issue, a weather diversion, a crew decision to hold — the operator makes that call. Our job is to find the right operator, put the terms in writing, and stay on the line until you land.
What we check before a flight goes out
Before we confirm a tail, we look at the operator's certificate and its authorized scope, current insurance, and third-party safety audit reports. We also check crew duty limits against the planned day, which matters on long westbound legs out of Miami.
Runway and density altitude get checked too. Miami summer heat pushes density altitude at Opa Locka and Miami Executive to roughly 2,500 ft at 115F. A short runway and a hot day narrow the aircraft list. We would rather tell you that early than sell you a tail that struggles in July.
How we are paid
We take a broker fee, disclosed in your quote. The operator bills for the flight itself. You see the total and the breakdown before anything is confirmed, and no charge runs until you approve it.
No retainer to request a quote. If the number doesn't work, say so and we try a different class or a different airport. A turboprop at $2,200 to $3,500 an hour solves plenty of short Florida and Bahamas trips.
Questions
Do you own the aircraft?
No. We are a charter broker. Aircraft are provided by independent operators holding FAA Part 135 authority, and those operators hold operational control of every flight. We arrange the trip, compare options, and handle the paperwork between you and the operator. The aircraft, crew and maintenance program belong to the operator, not to us.
Which Miami airport will my flight use?
It depends on the aircraft and your destination. Opa Locka (KOPF) has an 8,002 ft runway and four FBOs, and handles most general aviation. Miami Executive (KTMB) has a 6,000 ft runway. Miami International (KMIA) has 13,016 ft, useful for heavy jets. Fort Lauderdale (KFLL) is a 9,000 ft alternative north of the city.
How far ahead should I book?
More notice gives better choice, especially in winter and around major Miami events. Short hops like the 161 nm run to Nassau can often be arranged on shorter notice than a transcontinental leg in a specific heavy jet. Send the date and route and we will tell you what is realistically available rather than guess.
