International Flight Center (IFC) at Miami Executive airport in Florida is preparing to open its new FBO terminal this month.

With the new facility, and its recently-opened hangar development, IFC is poised to offer aviators a new home base where luxury comes as standard. While a grand opening event is in the early planning stages, IFC's leadership team has received the all clear to open the 10,500 sq ft terminal before the end of January.

“We couldn't be more excited to start a new year in a new, luxury facility,” says Wilfredo Valle, IFC's president. “Every detail of this development has been meticulously planned for the ultimate private flying experience, for pilots and passengers alike. Now, our accommodations will match the industry-leading care our customers have come to know and trust out of IFC. We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming traffic with our new gateway to Miami.”

Featuring lounges, full private bed/bath snooze rooms, a private conference room with full A/V and seating for 10 and a café, the terminal will provide both crew and passengers with modern accommodations during their stay at the facility.

While finishing touches of the terminal building are underway, operators have already begun taking advantage of IFC's new amenities following the completion of its 84,000 sq ft hangar complex in 2024.

The facilities offer flexible short- and long-term leases with 24/7 surveillance and service. At 28,000 sq ft each with 28-ft doors, the hangars have space to house multiple aircraft up to a Global 8000 in size. Catering to all modern business aircraft, each hangar will be equipped with foam-free fire suppression and 480V outlets.

The complex is situated on IFC's leasehold, featuring 550,000 sq ft of ramp space. All tenants enjoy preferred charter, fuel and maintenance pricing with IFC's sister companies Corporate Air Charter and Propel Aviation, in addition to IFC's professional operations.

In January 2025, IFC will host a grand opening event to celebrate the completion of its new development.

Located on the southwest side of Miami's premier private aviation airport, IFC lands travellers adjacent to the field's US Customs office and just 15 miles from the city's downtown. Along with easy access to high-profile destinations, IFC provides operators with full FBO services, boutique concierge care, expert aircraft handling, and on-field aircraft sales and maintenance.

As an Avfuel-branded FBO, pilots enjoy competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel, streamlined payments with the Avfuel Pro Card and lucrative rewards with AVTRIP.
