- PBI Airport Overview
Palm Beach International PBI Airport is a medium-sized airport in southeastern Florida. Located 2.5 miles west of downtown West Palm Beach and 3.5 miles west of Palm Beach, along Interstate 95, it offers easy access to beaches and other area attractions. PBI Airport is situated adjacent to Interstate Hwy I-95 and is 20 miles south of Boca Raton and 15 miles north of Jupiter. It serves the Counties of Palm Beach and its surrounding four counties. Palm Beach International Airport is a hassle-free and pleasant beginning to a South Florida vacation! PBI airport’s terminal was opened in 1988 and has separate levels for arriving and departing passengers, three concourses and a large concession mall that runs the length of the building. Showcasing its South Florida roots, the terminal features coquina walls (a limestone and shells material that was commonly used in Florida’s historical buildings), tile floors and a colorful art collection. A beautifully landscaped roadway system leads to separate levels of the terminal. The terminal's Customs and Immigration facility is able to handle 300 passengers an hour. The Airport's runway can accommodate aircraft up to the size of a B747-400. A host of major airlines and several regional jet services operate out of Palm Beach airport, offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. Over six million passengers per annum are using Palm Beach International Airport.
Palm Beach Airport offers 1,100 short term parking and 2,300 long-term spaces. Short-term parking is available on the passenger terminal's roof. Other parking is available at the parking garage, at West- and East Lots next to the garage, and in the Park & Ride Lot (with free shuttles). To pick up an arriving passenger, use the Cell Phone Lot--stay with your vehicle until your party calls to be picked up at the curb.
To get to the Airport you have several options besides taking a taxi/limo: (a) The SuperShuttle, a shared-ride van, is available 24/7; (b) the Airport is also accessible by Tri-Rail from the West Palm Beach Tri-Rail station, located at 203 South Tamarind Avenue, while a Palm Tran shuttle carries passengers to/from the Tri-Rail station to the Airport (Tri-Rail also runs between West Palm Beach and Miami, making many stops in between); (c) the Palm Tran public bus serves the airport - its stop is on the outer curb, level one (route maps are on level 1 of the Terminal).
Future improvements include additional gates and concessions in the concourses, roadway improvements to increase curb front capacity and directly link the airport to Interstate 95.
