Which Miami airport is best for international flights?

For international travel to Miami, you can use either Opa-locka Executive Airport (OPF) or Miami International Airport (MIA). Both airports have Customs officials and can handle international arrivals.

  • Miami International (MIA) – Features a larger, full-service Customs operation, which usually processes passengers more quickly.

  • Opa-locka Executive (OPF) – Customs operates on a call-out basis and may take slightly longer, but the airport provides a faster, less congested overall experience for private jet travelers.

What type of aircraft is best for flying into Miami?

The ideal aircraft depends primarily on your departure city, number of passengers, and luggage requirements:

  • Light Jet – Perfect for small groups (4–6 passengers) with light luggage, ideal for shorter flights like New York to Miami.

  • Midsize Jet – Recommended for larger groups (7–8 passengers) or trips requiring more luggage and comfort.

  • Heavy Jet or Ultra-Long-Range Jet – Best for international flights or when maximum range and luxury are needed.

Primeo’s team can recommend the perfect aircraft for your itinerary to ensure a smooth and efficient flight.

Which airport should I use if time is critical for business travel?

Although Opa-locka Executive (OPF) is about 10 minutes farther from downtown Miami than MIA, it is often faster overall due to significantly lower traffic, fewer commercial flights, and a streamlined FBO experience. Primeo clients often prefer OPF for business travel where speed and efficiency are key.

Can Primeo arrange a rental car upon arrival?

Yes. Primeo can have a rental car ready for you at the FBO upon arrival at either Miami airport. Options include:

  • Luxury sedans and SUVs

  • Sports cars and convertibles

  • Specialty vehicles for style and comfort

This ensures you can begin your Miami visit without delay and enjoy the city in total convenience and style.
