Ocean Aviation starts $67 million Miami private-jet campus
Ocean Aviation broke ground at Miami Executive Airport on a $67 million FBO campus with up to 400,000 square feet of hangar space on 40 acres.
- Groundbreaking took place on October 7, 2026
- $67 million capital commitment at Miami Executive Airport
- Up to 400,000 square feet of hangar space planned
- 40-acre site under a 40-year ground lease
- Project expected to support about 2,900 construction jobs and 250 permanent jobs
Ocean Aviation has begun work on a large private aviation campus at Miami Executive Airport, backed by Kennedy Lewis Investment Management. The project turns 40 acres of airport land into a new FBO complex.
The numbers are big for a general aviation airport: $67 million of planned investment, up to 400,000 square feet of hangar space, a premium terminal and a fuel farm. Miami-Dade officials also put the jobs figure at about 2,900 during construction and 250 permanent positions.
South Florida is one of the busiest private aviation regions in the U.S., with pressure on hangar space and FBO capacity. This project also follows Ocean Aviation’s 2026 acquisition of National Jets at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, giving the company a two-airport foothold in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market.
