Palm Beach International Airport

Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) sits three miles west of downtown West Palm Beach and is the primary commercial and private aviation airport for Palm Beach, Jupiter, Wellington, and the wider Treasure Coast. KPBI is the closest commercial-grade airport to the Palm Beach resort and country-club circuit, which is why during winter season (November through April) the field handles an extraordinary volume of corporate and ultra-high-net-worth private traffic — Mar-a-Lago, the Breakers, the polo and equestrian set in Wellington, and the south Florida corporate flight departments all concentrate here. Runway 10L/28R is 10,008 feet — long enough for unrestricted ultra-long-range operations — and 14/32 is 6,932 feet. Three FBOs (Signature, Atlantic, and Jet Aviation) handle private traffic with substantial hangar capacity and ramp space, though winter weekends and major events (the FIDF Gala, Mar-a-Lago season, polo tournaments) push KPBI to capacity. CBP is on-field for international arrivals. Field elevation is 19 feet; density altitude is never a factor. The dominant operational risk is hurricane season (June through November) and the periodic TFRs that come with high-profile guests in residence at Mar-a-Lago — a factor brokers routinely brief on. Ground time to Palm Beach or Worth Avenue is 10–15 minutes.
