PrivateJet.com arranges Fort Lauderdale to Toronto private jet charter flights on demand, connecting South Florida with Canada’s largest city.
Canada is Greater Fort Lauderdale’s largest international market, and many Canadian families have been returning to the same Broward County homes and hotels every winter for decades. Most trips on this route follow that pattern: south in the fall to open a condo or waterfront house, and north in the spring with family members, luggage, and sometimes a dog. Executives use the route too, flying between South Florida and meetings in Toronto’s financial district.
Most jets fly from Fort Lauderdale Executive to Toronto Pearson in about three hours, and ultra long range jets make it in a little over two. If you’d rather land downtown, a turboprop can take you to Billy Bishop on the Toronto Islands, across the harbor from the city center.

Private Jets for Charter Flights between Fort Lauderdale & Toronto
Turboprops
Billy Bishop doesn’t accept jets, so a King Air 350 or Pilatus PC-12 NG is the only way to fly privately from South Florida to downtown Toronto. On a route this long, turboprops take longer than jets, and depending on passenger load and winter weather, the flight may need a fuel stop. For two to four people working on Bay Street, landing next to downtown can save more total travel time than a faster jet into Pearson.
Light Jets
The Phenom 300E and Pilatus PC-24 suit a couple heading home for the summer or a few executives flying north for meetings. Both usually make the trip nonstop. A season’s worth of luggage fills a light jet quickly, so families returning after several months in Florida usually book a larger cabin.
Midsize Jets
A Citation XLS+ or Hawker 900XP has room for a family moving north in the spring, with suitcases, golf bags, and a pet carrier. The enclosed lavatory and near stand-up cabin make a three-hour flight easier for older passengers and young children.
Super Midsize Jets
The Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude have stand-up cabins, large baggage holds, and Wi-Fi. They’re a practical choice for a family’s end-of-season move or for business travelers who want to work during the flight.
Heavy Jets
The Falcon 900EX and Gulfstream G450 carry large groups, such as several generations of a family or a company team flying to Toronto. The cabin can be divided into separate areas, and a flight attendant is usually on board. The baggage hold can take most of what a group brings home after a winter in Florida.
Ultra Long Range Jets
The Falcon 8X and Global 6000 are the fastest option on this route, and a flight of about 1,050 nautical miles uses only a small part of their range. They make sense for travelers who want the largest cabin available, or when Toronto is one leg of a longer trip, such as a stop before continuing to Europe. They operate into Toronto Pearson.
Fort Lauderdale to Toronto Private Jet Charter Services
PrivateJet.com works with the operator on border arrangements in both directions. For the flight to Canada, we confirm an airport where CBSA can clear charter passengers, collect passport details from everyone on board, and check whether anyone needs an eTA. On the way home to Florida, you clear U.S. Customs at Fort Lauderdale Executive, and we schedule the departure so you land while customs is open there.
For a seasonal move, we can arrange extra baggage space, pets in the cabin, and ground transportation to your home in Toronto or Broward County. If you’d like to land downtown in Toronto, we’ll also quote a turboprop into Billy Bishop so you can compare it with a jet into Pearson.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a private jet land at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport?
No. The agreement that governs Billy Bishop bans jets, so business aircraft there are limited to turboprops like the King Air. If you want to land next to downtown Toronto, book a turboprop charter. Jets use Toronto Pearson.
What documents do I need to fly privately to Canada?
Everyone needs a valid passport. U.S. citizens don’t need an eTA. U.S. green card holders don’t need one either, but they must show their passport and proof of permanent resident status. Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, travel on a Canadian passport. Most other visa-exempt foreign nationals need an eTA before flying to Canada.
Where do I clear U.S. customs on the flight back to Florida?
In Florida, after you land. U.S. preclearance for private and charter flights isn’t available in Canada, so you clear customs at a U.S. airport of entry. At Fort Lauderdale Executive, U.S. Customs is open from 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., and the operator arranges permission to land before departure.
