General Aviation
Palm Beach County operates a system of four airports. Each airport plays a role in supporting the needs of the public and aviation community.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is a commercial service airport, serving both air carriers (airlines) and general aviation aircraft. PBI has a 24-hour control tower and a U.S. Customs & Immigration port of entry facility. The general aviation traffic at PBI has a choice of three fixed-base operators.
Signature Flight Support
As well as a brand new NetJets Terminal.
In addition to PBI, the county operates three general aviation-only airports which do not have any air carrier activity.
North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45) is located in the north portion of the county and provides easy access to the Florida Research Park, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens.
F45 is a designated reliever for PBI and serves both reciprocating engine and jet aircraft and has a maximum runway length of 4,300'. Runway 13-31 is 4,300' long by 75' wide and has a max. weight limit of 30,000 lbs.
Palm Beach County Park Airport (LNA) located in Lantana, Florida is located 6 miles south of PBI. LNA is moments away (by car) from the coastal cities of the Palm Beaches: Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton. LNA is a reliever airport focusing on the general aviation reciprocating engine and turbine-driven aircraft.
There are several flight schools located at F45 for both fixed wing and helicopters. This is a noise-sensitive airport with residential communities surrounding the airport with heavy populations to the east, west, and south sides of the airport.
Palm Beach County Glades Airport (PHK) is the county's designated general aviation recreational and sport flying airport. PHK is also designated for parachute operations. PHK is located in the western portion of Palm Beach County and is located adjacent to Lake Okeechobee.
As the recreational airport, Glades supports the airport system by locating the recreational / sport aeronautical operations at a less congested airport.
