Boca Raton Airport
Boca Raton: a single-runway business-aviation field between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach.
One runway, no airlines. Boca Raton Airport serves the affluent stretch of coast between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach: Boca Raton, Delray, and the communities around them. A traveler lands in Boca instead of driving in from FLL or PBI.
Who flies here
Light jets to midsize aircraft, for the Boca corporate and residential market. BCT is small, one runway and no airline operation, and a private trip is fast, from the car door to the seat.
On the field
As of mid-2026 the FBOs at Boca Raton include Signature Aviation and Atlantic Aviation. Departures go straight through their lobbies and out the far door.
Radar
The field began in 1936 as a grass strip. In World War II it became the Boca Raton Army Airfield, the Army Air Forces' main training site for the then-secret technology of radar. After the war it passed to the town.
FBO and history details were checked mid-2026 against the airport's and operators' own published information. Tenants change, so confirm the departure terminal with your operator.
