A turboprop gives Opa-locka travelers a roomy cabin for regional flying and reaches smaller airports that larger jets do not use.

Why the Cessna Grand Caravan 208B Fits Opa-locka
With 964 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Opa-locka and destinations such as Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville, allowing for reserves and routing. Opa-locka has US Customs on the field, so an international trip can clear on arrival in the Miami area.
Smaller aircraft fly from Opa-locka as well as Miami Executive in south Miami-Dade, and the operator confirms the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Opa-locka Clients Use the Cessna Grand Caravan 208B
Turboprops carry small Miami groups to Florida and Southeast destinations, often into smaller airports close to where they are going.
Give us the route, the number of passengers and everything they are bringing, golf bags and strollers included, and your advisor will check this aircraft against the trip before putting other options in front of you.
