North Perry Airport (HWO) | Private Jet Hub Near Pembroke Pines

North Perry at a Glance

North Perry Airport (KHWO/HWO) is a Broward County-owned general aviation field in Pembroke Pines, about 5 miles west of downtown Hollywood. It has four asphalt runways, the longest being 10R/28L at 3,463 feet, with the others between 3,000 and 3,260 feet. The field is one of the busiest training airports in Florida, with a control tower operating 0700-2100 local. There is no on-field U.S. Customs. The short runways and dense traffic make this a piston and light-turboprop field, not a practical jet base.

Runways & Approaches

North Perry operates a four-runway grid built for high-volume light-aircraft training. The longest, 10R/28L, measures 3,463 feet of asphalt; 1R/19L is 3,260 feet, 10L/28R is 3,241 feet, and 1L/19R is 3,000 feet. All four are 100 feet wide. The crossing-runway layout gives excellent wind coverage, but none of these surfaces is long enough for meaningful jet operations.

Approaches are limited to RNAV (GPS) and visual procedures, and the tower is staffed 0700-2100 local with CTAF/tower on 132.1. At roughly 8.5 feet elevation, density altitude is a non-factor here. For charter clients in the Pembroke Pines and Hollywood area, the practical jet airports are Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE, about 12 NM) and Opa-locka Executive (KOPF, about 6 NM), both of which offer jet-length runways and full FBO infrastructure.

Private Aviation Briefing — History, Operations & Planning

Airport Overview

North Perry Airport (KHWO) is a public, Broward County-owned general aviation airport in Pembroke Pines, about 5 miles west of downtown Hollywood and roughly 6 NM from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (KFLL). It is one of the most active training airports in Florida, home to multiple flight schools and a large fleet of based piston aircraft. Four short asphalt runways and a control tower staffed 0700-2100 keep the pattern busy throughout the day.

Runway Capability

The four runways range from 3,000 to 3,463 feet long. The longest, 10R/28L at 3,463 feet, comfortably handles piston singles and twins, light turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12, Cessna Caravan, and King Air, but is too short for safe, routine jet operations. Even the smallest light jets need careful performance analysis at this length, and the dense training traffic makes North Perry an impractical choice for jet charter.

Charter Considerations

For private jet travel serving Pembroke Pines and west Hollywood, The Jet Finder typically positions aircraft at nearby jet-capable airports rather than KHWO. Opa-locka Executive (KOPF, ~6 NM) and Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE, ~12 NM) both offer jet-length runways, multiple full-service FBOs, and U.S. Customs options. North Perry remains useful for piston and light-turboprop movements and for owners based in the area.

Safety & Planning

The Jet Finder sources charter exclusively from FAA Part 135 certified operators, with verified crew currency, audit history, and insurance. Because North Perry's runways are short and the traffic pattern is consistently busy with training aircraft, any turbine operation here demands detailed runway and obstacle analysis. In most cases the safer and more efficient solution is to depart from a nearby jet airport.

Customs & International Travel

North Perry has no on-field U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, so it cannot serve as a port of entry. International and Bahamas-bound trips, common from South Florida, must clear at a CBP-equipped airport. Fort Lauderdale Executive and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International both offer customs; The Jet Finder coordinates the appropriate clearance airport for any cross-border itinerary.

Seasonal & Operational Factors

South Florida's subtropical climate brings warm temperatures year-round and frequent afternoon convective thunderstorms during the warm season, typically building between early afternoon and early evening. Morning departures generally offer the smoothest, clearest conditions. Field elevation near 8.5 feet means density altitude is rarely a concern. The control tower operates 0700-2100 local; outside those hours the field reverts to CTAF procedures.

Regional Context

North Perry sits in one of the densest general aviation regions in the country, surrounded by Opa-locka Executive (KOPF), Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (KFLL), and Miami-area airports. This concentration gives charter clients excellent flexibility: KHWO anchors light-GA and training activity, while the surrounding executive airports handle the jet traffic for the Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and greater Fort Lauderdale market.

In practical terms, no. North Perry's longest runway is 3,463 feet, too short for safe, routine business-jet operations, and the field is dominated by busy flight-training traffic.

Yes. The on-field FBOs include The Fuel Depot @ Bobby's Landing, Hollywood Aviation, and North Perry Central. They provide 100LL and Jet-A fuel, tie-downs, and basic ground handling oriented to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and the field's flight-training operations rather than heavy jet handling.

North Perry sits at approximately 8.5 feet above mean sea level. At this near-sea-level elevation, density altitude is rarely a performance factor, even on hot, humid South Florida afternoons.

Yes. North Perry offers RNAV (GPS) approaches in addition to visual procedures. Given the short runways and high training-traffic volume, most operations are conducted VFR. Always reference the current FAA Terminal Procedures for KHWO before flying.
