West Palm Beach is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,001-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL, 72 km), Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| President Donald J. Trump International Airport | DJT | 6 km (4 mi) | 10,001 ft | 19 ft |
| Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport | FLL | 72 km (45 mi) | 9,000 ft | 9 ft |
| Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (regional) | OPF | 93 km (58 mi) | 8,002 ft | 8 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,001 ft, DJT can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 19 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
