Why Charter This Route
A two-hour flight replaces a full travel day
Miami is one of the most requested destinations out of the Triad, and for good reason. Only one daily nonstop exists on the commercial side, and it does not always fit your schedule. SkySouth flies this route on your terms, every time.
01
No waiting on the one daily nonstop
American Airlines runs a single scheduled nonstop between GSO and MIA. Miss it, and most other itineraries route through Charlotte or Atlanta instead. SkySouth flies whenever you need to go.
02
Land closer to where you're going
Opa-locka Executive Airport sits about 11 miles north of downtown Miami, roughly 30 minutes from South Beach, with far less ground congestion than Miami International.
03
You set the departure time
Leave at dawn for a full day in Miami, or fly home the moment dinner wraps. The aircraft works around your calendar, not the reverse.
Weather Advantage
South Florida runs on hurricane season, six months a year
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with activity peaking around mid-September, and it can disrupt commercial schedules into South Florida with little notice. SkySouth pilots can route around weather, move a departure earlier, or hold until conditions clear, instead of leaving you stuck on a single rebooked itinerary. See the official season dates from the NOAA National Hurricane Center.
Time Comparison
How the three ways to get there stack up
Numbers reflect typical door-to-door time for the Greensboro to Miami route, including security, boarding, and ground transportation where applicable.
SkySouth Private Jet~3 hr 15 min
Short drive to GSO, board immediately, about 1 hour 50 minutes airborne, then a quick ground transfer from OPF.
Commercial Airline~5 hrs
Best case if the single daily nonstop fits your schedule. A connection through Charlotte or Atlanta runs longer.
Driving~11 hr 30 min
About 700 miles down I-95 or I-26, before traffic around any of the metro areas along the way.

Opa-locka Executive: Miami's private aviation gateway

OPF
Opa-locka Executive Airport
The largest general aviation airport in Miami-Dade County, about 11 miles north of downtown and roughly 30 minutes from South Beach. No landing fees, 24/7 operation, and multiple FBOs on the field.
Primary gatewayTMB
Miami Executive Airport
Sits south of the city near Kendall, a useful alternate for meetings and destinations on Miami's south side, away from the downtown corridor.
FXE
Fort Lauderdale Executive
A short drive north of Miami-Dade, worth considering for events or stays closer to Fort Lauderdale and the northern Broward County coastline.

Who Books This Route
The Greensboro to Miami trips we fly most
Business executives and teams
A morning departure from Greensboro puts your group in Miami for a midday meeting, with a same-day return possible. No hotel stay needed for a one-day engagement.
Real estate and investment trips
South Florida remains one of the top real estate markets in the country. Private charter lets buyers and advisors run a same-day property tour and be back home that night.
Sports and event travel
Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, is about 20 minutes from OPF. The airport also sits close to the Miami International Raceway, host of the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
Medical transport
SkySouth has supported hospitals and surgical teams across the Eastern US since 2003, including time-critical organ transport where minutes matter.
Leisure travel
South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, and the Design District are all reachable without the chaos of Miami International. A group of six can charter the CJ3 and skip it entirely.
"We have flown from many private airports, but SkySouth stands apart. Quick departures, excellent communication, and a team that consistently goes above and beyond. This is the future of business travel."
