Private jet charter to West Palm Beach & Palm Beach — unrivaled logistics, seamless FBO coordination, and heavy-jet expertise into DJT (formerly PBI), Palm Beach Island, and Wellington.
West Palm Beach is one of the busiest charter destinations in South Florida, and getting it right means picking the correct airport for your trip, not just the closest one. There are three real options within a short drive of downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach island, each with different traffic, ramp capacity, and ground-transfer tradeoffs.
Note on the airport name: Palm Beach International is now officially President Donald J. Trump International Airport. As of August 18, 2026 its codes changed from PBI to DJT (IATA) and KPBI to KDJT (ICAO). Most travelers still search and say “PBI,” so we use both throughout this page — DJT (formerly PBI).
| ICAO / IATA | KDJT / DJT (formerly KPBI / PBI) |
| Name | President Donald J. Trump International Airport (renamed from Palm Beach International, Aug 18 2026) |
| Location | West Palm Beach, FL |
| Runways | 10L/28R: 10,001 ft × 150 ft. 14/32: 6,931 ft × 150 ft. 10R/28L: 3,214 ft × 75 ft (restricted use) |
| FBOs | Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation, Signature Aviation (North and South) |
| Customs (CBP) | On-field Federal Inspection Station – its own facility on South Perimeter Road, not attached to the terminal or an FBO. Inspections 0830–1930 daily, office 0800–2000. Permission to land must be filed at least 2 hours before you depart the foreign port, ±30-minute ETA tolerance |
| Curfew | No mandatory curfew. The noise-abatement program is voluntary and the airport states plainly there is no penalty for not using the procedures — federal law requires the field stay open 24 hours. Stage 2 aircraft carry a published environmental restriction overnight |
DJT (formerly PBI) is a joint-use commercial/GA airport, meaning your charter shares the field with scheduled airline traffic, busiest during the winter snowbird season (roughly November through April), when ramp space and FBO parking tighten up fast.
| ICAO / IATA | KLNA / LNA |
| Location | Lantana, FL — south of West Palm Beach, near Palm Beach proper |
| Runways | 10/28: 3,489 ft. 16/34: 3,421 ft. 4/22: 3,256 ft. All three under 3,500 ft |
| FBOs | Stellar Aviation of South Palm Beach — the only FBO on the field |
| Customs (CBP) | None on field. International arrivals clear at DJT (formerly PBI) or another designated port before continuing |
| Curfew | No mandatory curfew. Runway 4/22 is the voluntary preferred noise-abatement runway when conditions allow. No control tower |
LNA is a general aviation-only field, no scheduled airline traffic, which means less congestion and often faster ramp-to-car times for smaller aircraft. It sits closer to Palm Beach island than DJT does, but the runway lengths are the real story: everything on the field is under 3,500 feet, which puts it out of reach for most mid and large-cabin jets. For light aircraft operating within their performance limits it’s a genuine time-saver; for anything bigger, DJT (formerly PBI) is the answer.
For trips oriented toward the southern part of the county or Boca-area addresses, Boca Raton Airport is the better-positioned field. See the Boca Raton private jet charter page for the full breakdown runway, FBOs, and when BCT beats DJT for a South Florida trip.
We pick the field based on your cabin class, whether customs clearance is needed, and where in the county you’re actually headed, not a default.
The price of chartering a private jet into West Palm Beach depends on the type of aircraft, flight duration, and any additional services you may require. At Fly Bitlux, we offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality or safety.

The Palm Beaches are the natural jumping-off point for the Bahamas — DJT (formerly PBI) sits roughly 180–250 nautical miles from the main island airports, a 45–60 minute hop. A light jet to Nassau typically runs about $8,500–$14,000 one-way (indicative), and Bimini is closer still. DJT’s on-field CBP facility makes it one of the cleanest U.S. gateways for clearing back in from the islands — file your permission to land at least two hours before departing the foreign port. Tell the desk your island and dates and we’ll match the right aircraft and handle the customs coordination both ways.
The right aircraft for a West Palm Beach / Palm Beach trip depends on where you’re coming from and how many are traveling. A quick guide by cabin class, with representative models and seating:
DJT (formerly PBI) handles every one of these cabin classes on its 10,001-foot main runway; LNA is limited to light aircraft by its sub-3,500-foot runways.
The Palm Beaches run on a sharp seasonal calendar. From roughly November through April — snowbird and event season — DJT ramp space, FBO parking, and aircraft availability tighten dramatically, and one-way pricing firms up with demand. The practical move is to book early: the further ahead the desk can lock an aircraft for a peak-season date, the better the pricing and the more cabin options stay open. Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year, and the Palm Beach social-season weekends are the tightest windows of all.
Empty legs. Because so many aircraft reposition into and out of South Florida during season, West Palm Beach is one of the better markets in the country for empty-leg opportunities — discounted one-way flights on aircraft already scheduled to fly your route empty. They’re date- and route-dependent and move fast, so if your schedule has any flexibility, tell the desk and we’ll watch for a matching empty leg into or out of DJT.
What is the new name and code for Palm Beach International (PBI)? As of August 18, 2026, Palm Beach International is officially President Donald J. Trump International Airport. Its IATA code changed from PBI to DJT and its ICAO code from KPBI to KDJT. Most travelers still search “PBI,” so both are in use — we refer to it as DJT (formerly PBI).
Should I fly into DJT (PBI) or LNA for West Palm Beach? It depends on your trip. DJT (formerly PBI) has longer runways, full customs clearance, and handles larger cabin classes, but it’s a joint-use field with airline traffic. LNA is GA-only and closer to the Palm Beach island side, which works well for light and midsize jets without an international customs requirement.
Is private jet charter to Palm Beach busier at certain times of year? Yes. DJT (PBI) and the surrounding South Florida charter market see heavy seasonal demand roughly November through April. Ramp space and FBO parking get tighter during that window, so booking early matters more than usual.
Can I clear customs at Lantana (LNA)? No — LNA has no customs facility on the field. An international arrival clears at DJT (formerly PBI), which has a dedicated Federal Inspection Station, and continues from there if LNA is the final stop. In practice that is rarely the plan: LNA’s runways are all under 3,500 feet, which rules out most mid and large-cabin jets entirely.
What’s the difference between flying into DJT versus Boca Raton? DJT (formerly PBI) is the larger, longer-runway field with full customs capability. Boca Raton (BCT) is better positioned if your trip is headed to the southern part of the county. We route based on where you’re actually going, not a fixed default airport.
Which FBOs operate at DJT (PBI)? Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation, and Signature Aviation (North and South) operate at the airport. Which one we use depends on aircraft type and ramp availability on your travel date.
How much is a private jet from West Palm Beach to the Bahamas? A light jet from DJT to Nassau typically runs about $8,500–$14,000 one-way (indicative); Bimini is closer and often less. DJT’s on-field customs makes it a clean gateway both ways — request a live quote for your island and dates.
