The bold, contemporary lines of one of Miami’s foremost
private aviation terminals provided a fitting backdrop for
this month’s fashion shoot, featuring sharp men’s tailoring
and modern separates. The location was the Fontainbleau
Aviation airfield, an FBO (fixed-base operator) working out
of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, the largest of
Miami-Dade’s general airports and a short chauffeur-
driven ride from downtown Miami, the Miami Design
District and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood.
For anyone flying to Miami, Fontainebleau Aviation can
offer fuelling, hangar space, aircraft maintenance, aircraft
detailing, crew rest lounges and executive suites to rival the
very best in the world. The company has recently undergone
a $30 million expansion project, headed by Zyscovich
Architects, and now covers a total of 52 acres.
Whether you’re looking for somewhere to base your
aircraft or to stop over in style for a few nights, the FBO is
equipped to cater for anything from a Cirrus SF50 Vision
Jet to a Boeing Business Jet and is open 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. Furthermore, Miami-Opa Locka Airport as
a whole also has no landing fees and fewer delays than other
regional airports.
The Miami sunshine is calling and this sophisticated,
full-service FBO only adds to the appeal.This page: Ryan wears cashmere cable-knit jumper, by Dunhill, as before; Navitimer watch, by Breitling, as before.
