Key West International Airport (KEYW)
More about Key West International Airport
Key West International Airport (KEYW/EYW) is the direct private-jet gateway to Key West, Florida, placing travelers on the island itself rather than at a mainland gateway. From here, the trip opens straight into the southern end of the Florida Keys: low water, coral-stone streets, marinas, and the compact rhythm that makes Key West feel distinct from the rest of South Florida.
Private travelers use KEYW for the simplicity of arriving where their plans are centered. The experience is built around private-aviation handling, a short transition from aircraft to car, and fewer commercial-airport steps before the day in Key West can begin.
Planning into the field is shaped by its 4,801-foot longest runway and by the routes clients commonly request through the airport. Amalfi Jets arranges itineraries linking Key West with Miami, Orlando, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Aspen, Jackson Hole, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, Nassau, Providenciales, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, London, Paris, Geneva, Lisbon, Rome, Ibiza, and other city pairs.
Marathon Airport (KMTH), Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF), Miami Executive Airport (KTMB), and Naples Municipal Airport (KAPF) may also be considered for travel to the same broader destination. Choose KEYW when the value is the island setting itself: arrival in Key West, with ground plans organized from the place your trip is meant to reach.
That matters here. Key West rewards unhurried timing once you are on the ground—sunset plans, marina departures, and old-town evenings all sit better when the flight plan is aligned with the island rather than a connection through somewhere else.
“For KEYW, our charter desk confirms the requested dates and reviews aircraft options against the 4,801-foot longest runway before presenting a shortlist; early firm dates usually widen the available fleet.”
