Private jet empty legs
Miami → Nassau
Miami to Nassau is the busiest sub-2-hour private aviation corridor in the western hemisphere. The 45-minute hop across the Straits of Florida connects the Miami/Fort Lauderdale/Opa-Locka private-aviation ecosystem with Nassau (Bahamas capital) and, via connecting flights, the Exumas and Eleuthera. Weekend outbound demand from Miami to Nassau is intense November through April — Palm Beach + Miami families splitting winter between US and Bahamian homes — which generates a steady supply of Sunday and Monday morning return empty legs at 40-60% of normal charter rates. Light jets (Citation CJ3, Phenom 300) dominate the corridor with typical charter pricing at $6,000-9,000 one-way; empty legs frequently list at $2,800-4,500.

Why this route has empty legs
Heavy Friday-Sunday outbound Miami → Nassau throughout winter, with matching returns Sunday evening + Monday morning. Aircraft repositioning to Miami between Nassau charters and Palm Beach charters creates additional empty capacity.
Seasonality
Highest supply: November through April (US winter escape season). Peak demand at US holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas week, spring break). Hurricane season (Jun-Oct) has reduced supply + occasional weather-driven disruptions. Empty leg discounts deepest during shoulder weeks (mid-Jan through Feb, first two weeks of April).

Frequently asked questions
Miami or Opa-Locka (OPF)?+
OPF is the operator standard for private aviation — 15 min from South Beach, no commercial mixing, deep FBO network (Signature, Atlantic, Sheltair). Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) is the northern alternative for Palm Beach + Boca connections. MIA is used only when connecting to commercial legs — expect 30-min FBO ramp times.
Bahamas customs procedure?+
Nassau (NAS) is the Bahamas port of entry — you clear Bahamian customs on arrival + submit a Bahamas Landing Card. From Nassau, onward flight to Exuma (GGT) or Eleuthera (ELH) is domestic. Your operator handles the customs coordination. Add 15-20 min at NAS for immigration processing.
Best FBO in Nassau?+
Odyssey Aviation and Jet Aviation are the primary FBOs at NAS with full crew services + ground transport. Both are on the west side of the airport (private aviation ramp). Odyssey is often preferred for Bahamian family-office clients.
Can I fly direct to Harbour Island?+
Not by jet — Harbour Island (Dunmore Town) has a small airstrip (NEH) but only accommodates turboprops (King Air, Pilatus PC-12, Twin Otter). Most trips fly jet to Nassau or North Eleuthera (ELH), then charter helicopter or fast boat onward. Direct Miami → North Eleuthera by King Air is 90 min and popular for Harbour Island trips.
