Several major air carriers schedule regular service to both Key West International Airport and Marathon Airport. These include US Airways, Delta, and American Eagle Airlines.

Aviation history for Monroe County began in Key West when Augustin Parla flew a bi-wing seaplane to Cuba on May 19, 1913. Without a compass to guide him, he left Key West carrying the Cuban Flag that Jose Marti had carried with him during his travels in Florida raising monies for the Cuban cause.
