Flying into Key West, Florida through Key West International and 1 alternate field. Operators bid on your trip without knowing who is flying it.
Arrival
Landing at Key West
Key West sits in Florida at 24.56 degrees north, 81.76 degrees west. Charter traffic works through Key West International, KEYW.
You have 2 fields to choose between: Key West International (KEYW) and Florida Keys Marathon (KMTH). They are not interchangeable. Runway length decides which aircraft can use each one, customs facilities decide which can take an international arrival, and ground transfer time to your actual destination often matters more than either.
Key West has a short runway by jet standards and ramp space is tight during winter season.
Ask any operator to confirm three things for your date before you commit: ramp and overnight parking availability, customs hours if you are arriving internationally, and whether the aircraft they are offering has an approved crew for the field. The third one catches people out at terrain constrained airports where the operator needs a specific qualification.
