South Florida's dedicated pilot training and transition facility.

Opened
1969
Location
Miami, United States
Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (TNT/KTNT) is a public-use airport located in the western Everglades region of Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was originally developed as a major commercial reliever airport for South Florida but pivoted to its current role as a training and transition facility primarily serving flight training operations. The airport is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County Aviation Department, which also manages Miami International Airport. Its remote location in the Everglades makes it well-suited for flight training, as it minimizes conflicts with commercial air traffic while providing ample airspace. The facility features multiple runways and is used by airlines and flight schools for pilot proficiency training, including simulator transitions and touch-and-go practice. Though it holds an IATA code, TNT does not serve scheduled commercial passenger service. It remains a critical infrastructure asset for aviation training in the southeastern United States.
Getting to & from
The airport is located in a remote Everglades area with no public transit service; access is exclusively by private vehicle via Tamiami Trail (US-41).
Airlines here
No commercial airlines operate scheduled service here; the airport is used primarily by flight training organizations and airlines conducting pilot transition training.

Traveller Tips
  • File flight plans carefully — the proximity to Everglades National Park airspace requires close attention to sectional charts.
  • Fuel availability can be limited; confirm before arrival, especially on weekends.
  • Wildlife on or near the runway is common in this Everglades-adjacent location — conduct thorough runway checks.
  • Cell service can be spotty this far west; download offline maps and airport information before departing Miami.
