Runways
Which private jets can use BIM?
General guidance from the longest paved runway. We assume each size needs its typical full-weight takeoff length, lengthened 8% per 1,000 ft of elevation. Hot days, wet runways and the operator's own limits change it, so the operator confirms each flight.

South Bimini Airport: questions
What FBOs are at South Bimini Airport?
We don't list FBO names: the FAA's airport record doesn't include them, and directories that do aren't ours to republish. An FBO (fixed-base operator) is the private terminal: lounge, fuel, ramp, hangar and ground handling. On a charter, the operator chooses the FBO at BIM; ask us which one your flight uses and we'll tell you before you go.
Can a large private jet use BIM?
BIM's longest paved runway is 5,409 ft at 10 ft elevation. As general guidance, light jet and midsize jets usually fit; super-midsize jet, large jet and ultra-long-range jets often do with less fuel or fewer passengers. Weather, weight and the operator's rules decide each flight.
Does BIM have customs for international private flights?
South Bimini Airport is outside the U.S., so arrivals clear local customs and immigration. Hours and notice vary by country; ask us and we'll plan around them.
