Private jet ground transportation at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE)
A security-trained driver and an unmarked, equipped SUV are staged at the FBO before your aircraft lands at Fort Lauderdale Executive. Drivers are based in South Florida and work to the P1 standard, from Las Olas and Harbor Beach to Boca Raton and south to Miami Beach.
Meeting your flight at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport is owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale and sits about five miles north of downtown. It serves Las Olas, the Las Olas Isles, and Harbor Beach, reaches Boca Raton to the north, and is an alternate for both Opa-locka and Palm Beach when either cannot take a flight.
The airport is served to the P1 standard by drivers based in South Florida. Two of its four FBOs carry new names: Atlantic Aviation operates the former Lynx FBO, and Signature Aviation took over Fort Lauderdale Executive Jet Center in a purchase completed in October 2025. Operations confirms each FBO's procedure before the trip, and since most members keep the driver for the day, the Movement Brief covers the arrival and the stops that follow it.
Trips to Harbor Beach and the barrier island cross Intracoastal drawbridges that open on fixed schedules. The 17th Street bridge, for example, opens on the hour and half-hour, and only hourly at weekday rush. P1 builds the openings into the route and leaves time for a raised bridge on the way back to the aircraft.

How a P1 pickup works at FXE
- 01
The flight is tracked
Send the tail number or flight details with the request. The pickup follows the aircraft, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it without a phone call.
- 02
Access is arranged ahead
Operations confirms the FBO, its entrance, and its procedure for vehicles on the ramp, and puts the meeting point in the Movement Brief.
- 03
The driver is staged before wheels down
The vehicle is inspected and in place before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it, otherwise at the FBO door.
- 04
Your team follows the trip
Assistants, family, and the flight crew you authorize see where the vehicle is, and each is updated when the passengers are on their way.
If a flight cannot use Fort Lauderdale Executive, the alternates are Opa-locka (OPF) to the south and Boca Raton (BCT) to the north. The pickup moves with the aircraft: the driver goes to the new airport, your team receives the updated meeting point and time, and the route to Las Olas or the beach is replanned from there.
From the aircraft through the rest of the day
Most members book P1 by the hour, so the driver who meets the aircraft stays with the principal for the day, not just the ride from FXE.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.

Planning an arrival at FXE
Customs on the east side
The customs building is on the east side of the airport and is open from 8 am to midnight; the customs ramp is closed to arrivals from midnight to 8 am. The vehicle may meet passengers at the customs building, and P1 confirms where in the Movement Brief.
Runway weight ratings
Runway 9/27 is rated for 81,000 pounds, and aircraft above a runway's rating need prior permission. That can matter for the largest long-range jets; if the crew plans for another airport instead, the pickup follows the aircraft there.
Boat show weeks
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs from late October into early November. P1 plans arrivals that week with the vehicle staged before landing and the route set for the conditions on the day.
Presidential flight restrictions
Presidential flight restrictions can affect Fort Lauderdale Executive. When one changes an arrival time or sends the flight elsewhere, the pickup is re-timed or moved with it, and your team is told the new plan.
A security professional waiting at the aircraft, not just a car
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment.
The full amount is available toward eligible P1 services. Member pricing and national network access are provided for an initial 12-month term.

Questions about FXE arrivals
Four: Atlantic Aviation (the former Lynx FBO), Signature Aviation (which took over Fort Lauderdale Executive Jet Center), Banyan Air Service, and W Aviation. P1 meets flights at all four.
At the aircraft where the FBO allows it, otherwise at the FBO door. Each FBO has its own procedure, and operations confirms it before the trip so the meeting point in the Movement Brief is the right one.
The tail number or flight details, the arrival time, the passengers, the destination, and the luggage. If you are arriving from abroad, include that too, because customs is in a separate building on the east side of the field.
The pickup is linked to the tail number, so timing changes are picked up automatically. If the flight lands at Opa-locka or Boca Raton, the driver goes there, and your team is sent the new meeting point and time.
For most members, yes. P1 is generally booked by the hour, so the driver and vehicle stay with the principal from the aircraft through the rest of the day, staged at each stop, whether the day is spent on Las Olas or runs south to Miami. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the app, and each change is priced and approved on the spot.
P1 drivers in South Florida are security professionals, typically from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, who complete a recognized security driving course and an annual supervised check ride. Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed.
Yes. The crew link shows the pilots you authorize where the vehicle is staged and sends word when the passengers are heading back to the aircraft. It never shows destinations or family details.
They can. The Intracoastal drawbridges open on fixed schedules; the 17th Street bridge opens on the hour and half-hour, and only hourly at weekday rush. P1 builds the openings into the route and the timing of each stop.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
Every airport P1 serves is on the private jet ground transportation page.
