Location
Key West, United States
Key West International Airport (EYW) is a public airport located on the island of Key West, Monroe County, Florida. Situated approximately two miles east of downtown Key West, it serves as the primary air gateway to the Florida Keys and is one of the southernmost commercial airports in the contiguous United States. The airport handles regional and mainline commercial flights connecting Key West to major hubs including Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Its single runway and compact layout reflect the geographic constraints of its island setting, limiting the size of aircraft that can operate there. Key West International Airport is owned and operated by Monroe County and supports a mix of commercial, general aviation, and charter traffic. Tourism is the dominant driver of passenger volume, with peak travel coinciding with the Florida winter season.
Terminals
The airport has a single terminal building with a modest concourse serving both departures and arrivals in a compact, open layout.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options include taxis, rideshare services, rental cars, and shuttle buses connecting the airport to downtown Key West and the broader Florida Keys.
