Miami International Airport
Miami International: the region's global gateway. Opa-locka is the business-jet field.
Pan American flew its Latin American routes out of Miami in the 1920s, and Miami International has long been one of the busiest international gateways in the United States, above all to Latin America and the Caribbean. It is a heavy commercial field. The region's business aviation settled at Opa-locka Executive (OPF), to the north, and that is the Miami area's business-jet airport.
Opa-locka, to the north
Private trips into the Miami area more often use Opa-locka, which is built for business aviation. MIA handles private aircraft through general-aviation facilities. A private flight lands here to meet a scheduled international one, with the airliners lined up at the concourses beyond.
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.
