Operational context
New York ➔ Miami is the densest business-aviation sector in the United States. Traffic runs daily, driven by finance and real estate, with a pronounced Thursday-evening and Monday-morning peak.
Airport choice makes the difference: Teterboro for Manhattan, Opa-locka or Miami Executive on arrival to avoid Miami International congestion. Over a 2h30 leg a super-midsize is ample; a heavy jet only makes sense for eight-plus passengers or a direct onward hop to the Caribbean.
Weather factor: from June to November, thunderstorm and hurricane season forces deviated routings and earlier departure windows. We track the 48-hour forecast as standard and offer an alternate arrival field (Fort Lauderdale) before it becomes necessary.
