Private Charter Between Nassau and Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale is our second-most-flown U.S. lane, just behind Miami. About 50 minutes nonstop in the Lear 60 between Lynden Pindling International (MYNN) and Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE), the marquee biz aviation airport in Broward County. Customs cleared at origin in both directions; quick ramp-to-vehicle transfer at either end.

Why this route

Fort Lauderdale ↔ Nassau gets used differently from the Miami lane. KFXE is closer to downtown Fort Lauderdale, Port Everglades, and the Galt Mile/Las Olas corridor than Miami options — for clients staying or working in Broward County, it's the shorter ground transfer at the U.S. end. We see a steady flow of cruise-line traffic out of Port Everglades on this route, plus the Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale residential communities.

The Lear 60 is sized right for the demand. Eight seats, refurbished cabin, full Gogo AVANCE connectivity. The flight is short enough that even a midday meeting in Fort Lauderdale and a same-day return to Nassau is comfortable. Pet-friendly cabin.

Airport & FBO

Most flights go to Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE). Banyan Air Service, Sheltair, and World Jet all operate FBOs at KFXE with the usual private-terminal services — lounge, ramp-side ground transport, CBP clearance at the FBO. Banyan is the long-established operator at the field.

For travel into central Fort Lauderdale or for an onward commercial connection, we also fly KFLL (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International). KFLL is busier and adds time to the customs step, so we default to KFXE unless a specific reason takes us to FLL — most often an international commercial connection.

On the Nassau end, all flights operate out of MYNN. Customs and immigration processed at the airport on the way out; arrival in Nassau means customs and immigration at MYNN — typically a 10-minute step.
