Why fly private from Miami

Miami private aviation — the basics

Miami is the second-largest private jet hub in the US after the New York metro. KOPF and KFXE together handle 150,000+ private operations annually. South Florida's combination of Latin American business connections, finance/crypto wealth, weather, and cruise-port proximity makes it a year-round destination — and the most common departure point for trans-Gulf and Caribbean private flights.

What's the difference between charter and empty-leg pricing?

An empty-leg flight is a repositioning flight where the operator needs to fly the aircraft anyway and sells it at 40–75% off. Empty legs are whole-aircraft bookings (you book the entire plane, not per seat) and require flexible timing.
