Historical airline service
editThe airport had scheduled passenger airline service starting in 1971 operated by Ocean Reef Airways, a division of Montauk Caribbean Airlines. The airline provided on demand service to Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport along with charter service. The airline was owned and operated by Bob King and his spouse, who were homeowners in the Ocean Reef Club. The club provided special permission to use their trademarked name as part of their airline name. The service was so successful that they expanded in 1979, continuing their nonstop flights to and from Miami International Airport[2] with a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter twin engine commuter turboprop.[3]
Partnerships
editThe airport has an exclusive partnership with NetJets.
