Frequently asked questions
Is Jet A fuel available at KTMB?
Yes, Jet A fuel is available at Miami Executive, along with 100LL. The airport is towered and operates on an attendance schedule of 0600-2100 daily. Miami Executive handles a significant volume of business aviation traffic, with 17,786 bizav operations recorded in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data out of 22,720 total annual operations. Pilots should note the airport is closed to non-engine aircraft, so gliders and similar aircraft cannot operate here.
What customs services are available at Miami Executive?
Miami Executive offers onsite CBP inspection services, with standard hours available and extended hours obtainable upon request by emailing the CBP arrivals contact prior to a stated cutoff time. This makes KTMB a viable port of entry for international arrivals without requiring a diversion to a separate customs airport. Dispatchers planning international flights should account for the standard operating window and submit extended-hours requests in advance when needed. No onward customs airport distance applies since services are provided directly at the field.
Why are Runway 9L/27R and Runway 13/31 sometimes closed at KTMB?
At Miami Executive, Runway 9L/27R and Runway 13/31 are closed daily during a set overnight window whenever Runway 9R/27L is in use as the active runway. This arrangement concentrates operations onto the longest runway, which measures 6,000 feet, during that period. Dispatchers should plan for reduced runway availability during these hours and confirm which runway is active before filing for arrival or departure. The closure applies specifically to the crossing and parallel runways, not to the primary 9R/27L surface.
What noise abatement procedures apply at Miami Executive?
Miami Executive enforces a noise abatement procedure prohibiting turns below 1,000 feet after departure. The airport is also classified as noise sensitive, with flight training limited during specific weekday and weekend windows, including observed holidays. Operators conducting training flights at KTMB need to schedule around these restricted periods rather than assuming unrestricted access. These measures reflect the airport's proximity to surrounding areas and its role as a high-volume general aviation and business aviation field near Miami.
When does business aviation traffic peak at KTMB?
Business aviation traffic at Miami Executive is concentrated in the cooler months, with the highest monthly totals recorded in November, December, and January based on 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Traffic drops noticeably during the summer months of June through September. This seasonal pattern means dispatchers scheduling flights into KTMB during the winter season should anticipate higher operational volume compared to summer. The airport's overall 2025 bizav total reached 17,786 operations across the year.
