Ocean Reef Club Airport (07FA) is a private-use airfield at Key Largo in the Florida Keys, serving the exclusive Ocean Reef Club resort community. It has a single hard-surfaced runway and is geared almost entirely toward business jet traffic, with an exclusive NetJets partnership and no facilities for propeller aircraft reliant on avgas.
Ocean Reef Club Airport is a privately owned, private-use aerodrome serving the Ocean Reef Club, a gated resort and residential community at the northern tip of Key Largo, Florida. It is not open to the general public and exists primarily to support the club's members and their business aviation movements, with an exclusive operating partnership with NetJets. For the simulator pilot, it is of interest as a compact, jet-oriented private field tucked into the Florida Keys, with a short runway that limits the types of aircraft that can safely use it.
The airport lies in Monroe County, Florida, about 19 miles northeast of the central business district of Key Largo, on the grounds of the Ocean Reef Club community at the northern end of Key Largo. No specific controlled airspace, ATC service or instrument approach details are given in the available sources.
The field has a single physical runway, 05/23, with a hard, lit surface. The 05 direction has a declared length of 4448 feet and the 23 direction 3999 feet. Field elevation is 3 feet. There is no ILS.
Ocean Reef Club Airport uses UNICOM on 122.7 MHz. No other radio callsigns, navaids or published instrument approach frequencies are available for the field.
The airport once supported scheduled passenger airline service, beginning in 1971 with Ocean Reef Airways, a division of Montauk Caribbean Airlines. The airline, owned and operated by Bob King and his spouse, both Ocean Reef Club homeowners, ran on-demand flights to Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as well as charter services, and was given special permission by the club to use its trademarked name. The operation proved successful enough that in 1979 it expanded its nonstop service to Miami International Airport using a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter turboprop. Today the airport hosts an annual airshow celebrating vintage aircraft, automobiles and yachts, featuring aerobatic displays by the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team alongside other organisations dedicated to particular aircraft types.
The airport remains private-use, restricted to the Ocean Reef Club and its associates, and holds an exclusive partnership with NetJets. Jet fuel is available for purchase, but avgas is not, which rules out most piston-engined light aircraft. Given the runway's short length, the field is used by a range of business jets and turboprops including the Bombardier Challenger 300 and 600 series, Cessna CitationJet/M2, Citation CJ4, Citation Excel, Citation Sovereign, Citation Latitude and Citation Longitude, Embraer Phenom 100 and 300, Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Praetor 500/600, Dassault Falcon 2000, 900 and 50, Gulfstream G200 and G280, and Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24. Around 25 aircraft are based at the field.
