Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Uncertain, as this specific heliport identifier and location likely refer to a temporary landing zone or a data error from a non-governmental database. If it was a temporary site used for construction, it would have ceased operations around 2016. This was never a permanent, officially registered heliport at this location.

Reason for Closure

The site was redeveloped for the construction of the Palazzo Del Sol and Palazzo Della Luna luxury condominiums, which began around 2014. If a temporary landing zone existed here, it was decommissioned upon completion of the construction project it supported. It was not closed for reasons like military conversion, accidents, or general economic decline.

Current Status

The site at coordinates 25.7642, -80.138702 is now a decorative circular driveway and motor court situated between the Palazzo Del Sol and Palazzo Della Luna condominium buildings, immediately south of the island's main ferry terminal. The paved area resembles a helipad in shape but is not marked or equipped for aviation use.

Historical Significance

This specific heliport (US-11255) holds no known historical significance as a permanent facility. Its existence in aviation databases is likely due to it being a temporary, un-registered landing zone used for logistical support (e.g., transporting materials or personnel via helicopter) during the construction of the adjacent high-rise luxury condominiums in the mid-2010s. The primary and officially recognized air access for the island has been the active, FAA-registered Fisher Island Heliport (FAA ID: 7FL6), which is located on the eastern side of the island and serves the private transport needs of residents and guests.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening a heliport at this specific location. The land has been permanently repurposed as an integral part of the condominium complex's infrastructure and landscaping. The island continues to be served by the active and operational Fisher Island Heliport (7FL6) elsewhere on the island, making a second facility at this location unnecessary.
