FROM FT. LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:

A taxi ride from the Main Passenger Terminal to the passenger service counters of Island Air Charters should cost about $7.00 and take about 5 minutes. Tell the driver that ISLAND AIR CHARTERS is in the Sheltair Jet Center on the WEST side of the airport (around Perimeter Road), located in the same pink and green building as US Customs, right next to the CONTROL TOWER, and show the driver these directions. Please note that we are NOT located on the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport which is a completely different airport located 10 miles further north off of Commercial Boulevard, so if you see signs during your 5 minute cab ride that read I-95 NORTH, you're going to the wrong airport!




 

FROM I-95:

  • EXIT Griffin Road WEST to:

  • Ravenswood/Anglers Avenue (which is the first traffic light to the west of I-95). 

  • TURN RIGHT (NORTH) onto Ravenswood/Anglers Avenue to Lee Wagener Boulevard (the next traffic light).

(As you proceed north on Ravenswood, past the marinas and just over the canal bridge, you'll notice The Rustic Inn on your left .. smell those garlic crabs!)

  • At the traffic light, TURN RIGHT (EAST) onto Lee Wagner Boulevard and climb the hill on the I-95 overpass .. the biggest hill in Ft. Lauderdale!

From the top of the I-95 overpass look straight ahead and notice the airport control tower.  Island Air Charters in located in the Sheltair Jet Center in the shadow of the airport control tower. Remember that!

*** Caution Construction ***

Lee Wagener Boulevard and the airport area around it have been under construction for literally years, and is "sometimes" unusable from the STOP SIGN at the bottom of the I-95 overpass on the east (airport) side, all the way to the control tower. 

Currently, Lee Wagener Boulevard is "open" so you can drive straight ahead to the STOP SIGN where Lee Wagener Boulevard ends at the base of the control tower property.   

 

You can read the 1050 painted on the building portico from the stop sign.

ISLAND AIR CHARTERS is located in building 1050 marked "Customs West"  southeast of the airport control tower. You can read the 1050 painted on the building portico from the stop sign.  Enter building 1050 under the portico through the sliding glass doors and our passenger service counters are located straight ahead in the lobby area.

If Lee Wagener Boulevard is closed, since Island Air Charters passenger service counters are located in the Sheltair Aviation Services complex, just follow the dreaded detour signs (below) that change the route, it seems, on a somewhat daily basis to the Sheltair complex and seek out the 1050 Building.

 

 

FROM FLORIDA TURNPIKE:

Exit Griffin Road east. Go about 3 miles, then left onto Ravenswood/Angelers Avenue. Now follow the same directions as above.

PARKING AT JET CENTER:

Overnight parking is $5.00 per day and is located across the street from the main Sheltair Jet Center buildings in the lot marked LONG TERM PARKING ONLY. PARKING IN SPACES MARKED FAA, CUSTOMS, VISITOR 3 HOURS AND BLUE PERMIT ONLY is prohibited. Your car may be towed (very expensive!) by the Sheltair Jet Center if not parked in the appropriate overnight parking areas. Now, the hardest part of your trip is over.
