Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

Private Jet Charter From Palm Beach International Airport

Palm Beach International Airport is the principal aviation gateway to Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, and Jupiter Island, and one of the most active private aviation airports on the U.S. East Coast during the winter season. Located approximately 3 miles west of downtown West Palm Beach and within easy reach of the island of Palm Beach, PBI handles a mix of commercial and general aviation, but it is the dedicated private terminals and FBOs that make it the preferred choice for premium charter clients flying into South Florida.

For executives, families, and high net worth travellers, PBI offers full separation from commercial operations through three premium fixed base operators, including Signature Flight Support, Atlantic Aviation, and Jet Aviation. Private passenger lounges, dedicated arrival and departure suites, and direct vehicle access to the aircraft keep arrivals discreet and efficient. The airport is also the operational hub for the Palm Beach winter season, with peak demand during the polo season in Wellington, the holiday social calendar, and the Art Basel and Mar-a-Lago periods.
