The hub

Palm Beach:
private aviation airports and access

Palm Beach County hosts one of the highest concentrations of private jet movements in the continental United States, fueled by a permanent and seasonal population of billionaires, family offices, and hedge fund principals based along the barrier island and surrounding communities. The primary commercial and private gateway is Palm Beach International Airport (PBI/KPBI), located just west of downtown West Palm Beach, while Lantana Airport (LNA/KLNA) serves as a popular alternative for lighter aircraft seeking lower traffic and cost-efficient turnaround.

The local economy is anchored by private wealth management, real estate investment trusts, hedge funds, and the growing presence of financial firms that have relocated from New York and Connecticut — a migration accelerated post-2020. Breakers Palm Beach, the Four Seasons, and the Eau Palm Beach Resort anchor the luxury hospitality infrastructure, while Worth Avenue functions as the island's luxury retail and social spine. The Palm Beach International Boat Show, the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, and the Art Palm Beach fair generate concentrated waves of jet traffic between November and April.

At PBI, Signature Flight Support operates a full-service FBO with ramp-to-car capability, and Sheltair Aviation provides a competitive alternative with dedicated GA handling. Customs and Border Protection maintains a 24-hour international facility at PBI, enabling direct transatlantic and Caribbean inbound clearance without diversion. Block-in to curbside in under 10 minutes is routine for pre-positioned crews, making PBI one of the most efficient arrival experiences in South Florida.

PBI's 10,000ft primary runway accommodates ultra-long-range jets including the Global 7500 and G700 at full payload for transatlantic departures
Season runs November through April with the highest per-capita private jet intensity in the continental United States

FAQ

Everything you need about Palm Beach

Pricing, airports, booking lead times, customs and ground transport — answered

Which airport do private jets use in Palm Beach?

Almost all private flights use Palm Beach International (PBI/KPBI), which sits about 5 km west of downtown West Palm Beach and has FBO handling on the field for everything from light jets to ultra-long-range and large-cabin aircraft. Its runways comfortably accommodate the biggest business jets, so it serves as the main gateway for the island's estates. Smaller piston and light aircraft can instead use Palm Beach County Park Airport at Lantana (LNA), a short distance to the south.

How much does a private jet to or from Palm Beach cost?

On the dominant New York corridor, expect from about €13,000 one-way for a light or midsize jet and roughly €16,000–€22,000 for a super-midsize, reflecting the two-and-a-half to three-hour sector. A heavy or long-range cabin on the same route runs closer to €28,000–€34,000 one-way. Short hops across to the Bahamas start from around €5,500–€6,500 in a light jet, while a transcontinental leg from the West Coast can reach €46,000 or more.

When is private-jet demand highest in Palm Beach?

The winter snowbird season from November to April is by far the busiest, when much of the North-East relocates south and PBI traffic swells. Demand peaks around the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, which runs from early January to late March, and again for the Palm Beach International Boat Show in late March. The Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays also produce sharp spikes in arrivals.

What are the most common private-jet routes to and from Palm Beach?

New York is the overwhelmingly dominant corridor, typically flown into and out of Teterboro or Westchester, and it drives the bulk of seasonal traffic. Other frequent legs connect Palm Beach with Boston and Chicago, both heavy sources of winter residents. Short international hops to Nassau and the wider Bahamas are also common, given the roughly one-hour flight time.

How do you get from Palm Beach International to the town and the island?

PBI is only about 5 km from downtown West Palm Beach, so a chauffeured car reaches the waterfront in well under fifteen minutes. Crossing to Palm Beach island itself, over the Flagler or Royal Park bridges to Worth Avenue and the oceanfront estates, usually takes fifteen to twenty minutes depending on traffic. Most FBOs will arrange the transfer to coincide with aircraft arrival, and Wellington's equestrian venues are a similar drive to the west.
