With more convenient flights than ever, your experience at Key West International Airport is also about to get an upgrade.

For the first time ever, Key West will have jet bridges, finally allowing passengers to board and disembark directly from the terminal to the plane—say goodbye to walking across the tarmac! With everything from faster check-ins to modern amenities, the airport is set to offer an upgraded experience that prioritizes comfort and efficiency. Here’s what’s in store:

  • Eight New Jet Bridges: For the first time, passengers will board directly from the terminal to the plane, providing a smoother, more seamless experience—especially during Key West’s hot summer months.

  • Upgraded Security Checkpoints: Four-lane checkpoints will streamline the security process.
  • Energy-Efficient Design: Electrochromic glass that adjusts to sunlight, providing a bright and welcoming atmosphere while conserving energy.
  • Bird-Safe Glass: Environmentally friendly glass designed to protect migratory birds, reflecting Key West’s commitment to sustainability.

These upgrades mean a more comfortable and efficient airport experience. From quicker baggage claim to smoother security, everything is designed to get you out of the airport and into Key West faster—so you can start enjoying your vacation as soon as you land.
