Venice, one of Florida's beautiful coastal towns

Over South Venice looking north Venice is one of many beautiful Florida coastal towns, and one I often fly to. The town is located in Florida’s gulf coast between Sarasota and Ft. Myers and has a population of 21,000 (2010 census) many of which are snowbirds (people who live in Venice during the winter months). Its airport is unique in that it’s close to the beach and on approach to landing you get beautiful views of the Venice jetty and the houses facing Roberts bay. It’s a beautiful and quiet place to live. Our Venice customers usually charter our Cirrus SR22 for flights to and from Miami, Jacksonville, Boca Raton or Key West.

Venice Municipal Airport, gateway to the Gulf Coast

Venice jetty and Roberts Bay, looking south. Like many Florida towns (which is why this state is so blessed) Venice has a big general aviation airport with intersecting 5000-foot runways. The Venice Municipal Airport was used as fighter training base in WWII and was given to the city after the war. With, however, one stipulation. If the city uses it for anything other than an airport, it must give the land back to the federal government. Learn more about Venice Florida's airport

It's easy to meet your flight

If you’re flying in or out of Venice with us, we use the Suncoast Air Center, which is an excellent FBO with a large lobby, friendly staff, and easy ramp access to get to your airplane. You can walk from your car to your plane in about 1 minute, it’s so close. Passengers love the convenience. Plus there's a restaurant next to the lobby. I sometimes grab lunch there after a flight. The food and service are good and I recommend you try it.

Use your local airport and access the world

If you live or work near Venice, you’ve got a great general aviation airport at your disposal. Be sure to use it to save time, enjoy life and see the world.

Flying during the Pandemic

The US charter aircraft fleet is big. But not so easy to find.

Where is Aviator Services located?

We're based in Miami, Florida, at the Miami Executive Airport (formerly known as the Tamiami Airport (TMB)). We're located about forty-five minutes from South Beach and near Kendall, Coral Gables, and Pinecrest.

What is your service area?

We fly to all cities in Florida and the Southeast USA from our Miami base. Although, our aircraft (Cirrus SR22) is capable of flying to anywhere in the United States, our aircraft is most efficient at distances within 500 miles. We do not offer service to the Bahamas in our Cirrus SR22 due to FAA restrictions for single-engine aircraft flying over water (beyond gliding distance to land).

What aircraft do you use?

We fly the technically advanced Cirrus SR22 aircraft. The plane with the parachute. It's like flying in a luxury car with wings. It's fast, comfortable, air-conditioned (Florida summers are hot), and has satellite radio with Bose headphones for you to enjoy quiet entertainment. Generaly we can carry up to 600 lbs (272 Kilos) of passengers and bags. We can often carry more depending on the length of your flight.

What are your hours of operation?

Our normal hours of operation are 7AM to 7PM daily but we do, of course, fly outside these normal hours if your trip requires it. During our normal business hours, though, we are available for short notice flights.

Do you have larger aircraft?

If you have more than three passengers or otherwise require a larger plane for your trip we can arrange this for you through one of our network operators. We work with several other local aircraft charter operators with a full range of aircraft and experienced crews.

How can I pay?

We accept credit cards, cash, checks and Bitcoin for payment. We require full payment in advance of your flight unless you have a business account with us.

Do you arrange ground transportation?

We can arrange for rental cars, car service, or taxi at your destination so you can be on your way soon after you arrive. Let us know when you reserve your flight if you require ground transportation at your destination. Also, we arrange transfers to or from airline terminals if you are departing on or returning from an airline flight. We do this often at Miami International Airport.

Special requests?

Please advise us of any special request you may have about your flight. Some customers ask us to overfly a landmark to take pictures or if a specific person can sit next to the pilot during flight. Please ask and we'll make every effort to satisfy your request.
