Whether it’s a weekend in the Abacos, a fishing run to Bimini, or a trip north for business, flying private out of Fort Lauderdale means no crowds, no connections, and a departure time that’s yours. You book the airplane, not a seat.
Where we fly from
We operate from Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International (FLL), whichever is easier for you. Both put you in a private terminal — park, walk out, and go — with none of the terminal lines commercial travel involves.
Where we fly to
- The Bahamas — about an hour to Marsh Harbour, Nassau, and North Eleuthera, and roughly half an hour to Bimini.
- Florida and the Southeast — Key West, Naples, Tampa, and the regional trips the airlines make painful.
- The Northeast and beyond — New York and the Lower 48 on our Cessna Citation.
The aircraft
Bahamas and regional flights go out on our Piper Navajo Chieftain, a cabin-class twin seating up to six with room for luggage. Longer legs and larger groups fly on our Cessna Citation. Either way it’s your aircraft for the day, on your clock.
Every Coastal Connections flight is operated under FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate F22A542J.
