About APP Jet Center Treasure Coast
APP Jet Center Treasure Coast has served as the go-to Caribbean gateway on Florida's Treasure Coast for over 25 years. The facility sits directly adjacent to U.S. Customs at Treasure Coast International Airport in Fort Pierce, earning recognition as the number-one customs clearance location in the country from FltPlan's Pilots' Choice Awards.
The FBO provides fueling, overnight hangar space, rental car coordination, hotel arrangements, and catering services. But the most talked-about amenity is the Airport Tiki, an on-site restaurant ranked the number-one airport restaurant in the United States by The Wall Street Journal. Having a quality dining option right at the FBO elevates the stop from a routine fuel and customs clearance to something worth looking forward to.
Treasure Coast International is a general aviation-only airport, meaning there is no commercial airline traffic to compete with. This translates into quick turnarounds, efficient customs processing, and a hassle-free experience that larger airports simply cannot match. The airport is strategically located between Orlando and Miami, making it a natural midpoint along Florida's Atlantic coast.
For charter passengers traveling to and from the Bahamas, Caribbean islands, or other international destinations, APP Jet Center provides the most efficient customs clearance experience on this stretch of the Florida coast. The proximity to customs eliminates the need to reposition aircraft to a larger international airport, saving time and fuel costs.
The Treasure Coast itself, encompassing Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, and Vero Beach, offers a quieter alternative to South Florida's congestion. The area is known for sport fishing, Indian River citrus groves, and uncrowded beaches. APP Jet Center makes the most of a perfect location for its specialized Caribbean gateway role.
