What does private aviation look like in the Florida Keys?
Looking to make a quick hop to the Caribbean without the hassle of leaving the US? Flying private to the Florida Keys is quick and easy. In addition to two international airports, there are also three private airports ideal for small planes. Tavernaero Park in Tavernier is even made up of homes with personal hangars included.
Discover Private Flying with CSI Aviation in the Florida Keys
CSI Aviation Inc. has a fleet of Beechcraft 1900s stationed a short flight away in West Palm Beach, Florida. Both major airports in the Florida Keys—one in the middle (MTH), and one on the furthest point Southwestward into the Caribbean (EYW)—can support any one of our Beechcraft 1900s.
We have the capabilities to charter a private flight from to the Keys, within the Keys, and from the Keys. Our 40+ years of experience guarantees that we are experts in coordinating your private flight—even if you don’t use our planes. We can connect you with other private aviation operators to take you to the Keys in a jet, small plane, or other type of aircraft.
The Florida Keys let you experience Caribbean bliss without needing a passport. Tourist groups seeking to travel together to, within, and from the Florida Keys can find an affordable option with our Beechcraft 1900s. Less expensive than a private jet, our private planes offer an easy getaway. If you’re looking for a way to travel safely and stay COVID-19-free with your bubble, flying private with CSI Aviation may be the ideal option for you.
Sport fishing is one of the most popular drivers of visits to the Florida Keys. Instead of relying on an airport’s checked baggage system, all your fishing gear can be safely stowed in our 1900’s cargo hold or, depending on the size of your group, in the main cabin seats.
The Florida Keys offer many water recreation activities, such as snorkeling, diving, swimming, kayaking, boating—the list goes on! When you travel with CSI Aviation, bringing any cumbersome snorkeling or diving equipment, or even your own kayak—is easily doable. Our 1900s make toting those around much simpler than relying on the checked baggage system of a commercial airline.
CSI Aviation Inc. can offer convenient charter options for multiple industries, including cargo, fishing, and recreational hunting. Seats can be removed for small but substantial cargo loads stowed in the plane from the back. Fishing gear and equipment is easily stored for the duration of the flight, and hunting guns and equipment don’t require the same security checks compared to flying commercial.
