SkyAccess South Florida Empty Leg Index: November 2026

Opa-locka is South Florida’s busiest airport for empty legs in the SkyAccess snapshot, with 17,618 unique listings touching KOPF. Across eight South Florida airports, 56,401 unique empty legs touched the region; Naples had 10,542, Fort Lauderdale Executive had 8,093, and the Palm Beach airport record had 9,803.

This November 2026 edition counts unique empty leg listings touching eight South Florida airports, from Naples and Boca Raton through Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. The airport rows overlap when a listed leg connects two airports in the region, so they are not additive.

Method: each unique listing is counted once in the regional total, using its origin, destination, departure time, tail number and aircraft model. Airport counts include each unique listing that touches that airport. These are marketplace listings, not flights confirmed as flown. Window: departures after 28 October 2025, for records created by 28 October 2026, with later scheduled departures included. Snapshot taken 28 October 2026.

Which South Florida airport has the most empty legs?

Opa-locka, KOPF, leads this snapshot with 17,618 unique listings touching the airport.

How many empty legs touch South Florida?

The regional total is 56,401 unique listings touching at least one of the eight airports in this index.

Why do the airport counts add up to more than the regional total?

A listing between two airports included in the index touches both airport rows, but is counted once in the regional total.

How is Palm Beach identified in the data?

The airport row uses ident KDJT, IATA code PBI and GPS code KPBI. A search for ident KPBI alone does not find that row.

Are these empty legs confirmed flights?

Empty legs are typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter. Pricing is for the whole aircraft, with taxes and fees itemised at checkout.

How were the November 2026 figures calculated?

The snapshot counts distinct origin and destination airports, departure time, tail number and aircraft model. It includes records created by 28 October 2026 and departures after 28 October 2025, including later scheduled departures already in the data at the snapshot.
