Private jet ground transportation at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF)
At Opa-locka, P1 meets private flights with a security-trained driver based in Miami and an unmarked, equipped SUV, to the same standard as every P1 market. The pickup follows the aircraft to its FBO or to the customs ramp, and the driver can stay with you for the rest of the day.
Meeting your flight at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport is owned by Miami-Dade County and sits about 10 to 11 miles north of downtown Miami. Five FBOs operate on the field, and two of them are new or under new ownership in 2026: Jet Aviation's new terminal opened fully in July, and the former Embassair became the JHSF Private Terminal in April.
Opa-locka is served to the P1 standard by drivers based in Miami, who know the FBO entrances, the customs ramp, and the routes south and east to Bal Harbour, Indian Creek, Star Island, Brickell, Coconut Grove, and the Fisher Island ferry. Most members book the driver for the day, so the arrival flows into the stops that follow, with the vehicle staged at each one and the Movement Brief setting out the plan.
Thanksgiving week, Art Basel Miami Beach week in early December, and the stretch from Christmas to New Year's fill the ramps here. During Art Week, traffic off Miami Beach on I-195, I-395, and the MacArthur and Venetian causeways is worst on weekday afternoons, and I-95 can slow to 15 to 20 mph at peak. P1 plans those weeks with the vehicle staged early at the FBO and the return to the aircraft timed around the afternoon traffic.

How a P1 pickup works at OPF
- 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.
When Opa-locka is not available, the alternates are Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) and Miami International (MIA). The pickup follows the aircraft: the driver goes where it lands, and your team receives the new meeting point and time. Fort Lauderdale Executive is farther from Miami Beach, about 50 to 80 minutes from South Beach, so the plan for the evening may need to move, and P1 resets it with your team.
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 OPF.
- 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 OPF
Customs at the CBP ramp
Customs is open from 9 am to midnight. Aircraft park at the CBP ramp, and the customs building is not attached to any FBO; passengers can leave directly from it, so the vehicle may meet them there. P1 confirms the meeting point and puts it in the Movement Brief.
Drive-on access at Jet Aviation
Jet Aviation advertises drive-on ramp access through a private entrance at its new terminal. At the other four FBOs, the driver meets the aircraft where the FBO allows it, otherwise at the FBO door, and operations confirms each procedure before the trip.
Presidential flight restrictions
A presidential flight restriction in South Florida can affect arrivals at Opa-locka. When one is in place, the arrival time or the airport may change, and the pickup is replanned to follow the aircraft.
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.

Questions about OPF arrivals
Five: Atlantic Aviation, Signature Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation, Jet Aviation, and the JHSF Private Terminal, formerly Embassair. P1 meets flights at each, and the Movement Brief names the FBO and the meeting point.
That depends on the FBO. Jet Aviation advertises drive-on ramp access through a private entrance; elsewhere the driver meets the aircraft where the FBO allows it, otherwise at the FBO door. Operations confirms the procedure for your FBO before the trip.
The tail number or flight details, the expected arrival time, the passengers and their destination, and the luggage. If the flight is arriving from abroad, say so, because the vehicle may meet the passengers at the customs building rather than the FBO.
The pickup is linked to the aircraft, so early and late arrivals re-time it automatically. If the flight lands at Fort Lauderdale Executive or Miami International, the driver goes there, and your team receives the new meeting point and time.
Yes, and most members do. P1 is usually 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, from a meeting in Brickell to dinner in South Beach. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the app, with each change priced and approved on the spot.
Every P1 driver is a security professional, typically from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response and based in the Miami area. Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed.
Yes. Pilots you authorize receive a crew link with the vehicle's staging location and a notice when the passengers are on their way back, which helps with departure planning. The link never shows destinations or family details.
Art Basel Miami Beach week in early December fills the ramps, as do Thanksgiving week and Christmas to New Year's, and traffic off Miami Beach is heaviest on weekday afternoons that week. P1 plans those arrivals and departures with the vehicle staged early and the route set for the conditions.
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.
