| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami International Airport | MIA | 10 km (6 mi) | 13,016 ft | 8 ft |
| Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport | FLL | 33 km (21 mi) | 9,000 ft | 9 ft |

| South Bimini Airport (regional) | BIM | 93 km (58 mi) | 5,409 ft | 10 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,016 ft, MIA can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 8 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
