Carriers

Service between Key West International Airport and Miami, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Fort Myers, West Palm, Atlanta, Naples, Orlando, St. Petersburg, and Tampa is provided by American Eagle, Comair/Delta Connection, Gulfstream/Continental Connection, and US Airways/US Airways Express. However, flights to Key West are among the most frequently canceled -- as many as one out of three at some airports, including Tampa -- because of fuel costs and low passenger counts.
