Charter a private jet to or from Miami‑Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) and experience the most efficient, discreet, and luxurious entry point to Greater Miami. Ari Jets provides tailored private jet solutions for clients who demand absolute privacy, zero wait times, and seamless global connectivity.
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Miami and 25 minutes from Miami Beach, OPF is the preferred executive airport for high‑net‑worth individuals, celebrities, professional athletes, and global business leaders. Unlike congested Miami International (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL), OPF is dedicated solely to general and private aviation — meaning no commercial airline traffic, no crowded terminals, and complete control over your arrival and departure.
With on‑site U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), internationally arriving passengers clear customs privately, often in under 10 minutes. Combined with luxury FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) offering VIP lounges, private conference rooms, and gourmet catering, OPF transforms the airport experience into an extension of your lifestyle.
OPF is strategically positioned to serve the most exclusive destinations in the region:
Key advantages over MIA and FLL:
Arranging a private jet to OPF is straightforward:
