KEYW Key West is Landing This Thursday

This Thursday (26/02/2026) at 15:00 UTC, Key West International Airport will be available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The project has been developed to deliver a faithful and performance optimized rendition of one of the most recognizable airports in the Florida Keys.

Below you can watch the official trailer presenting Key West International Airport in action. The video showcases selected airport details, surroundings, lighting setup, and a preview of the overall atmosphere you can expect during operations.

KEYW is known for its compact layout, short runway, and spectacular ocean approaches. Our objective was to capture not only the airport infrastructure, but also the distinctive atmosphere that defines operations in Key West.

And of course it would not be complete without its famous free roaming chickens. They are now part of the airport environment, adding a subtle but authentic local touch.

Key Features of KEYW:

• Highly detailed and realistic rendition of Key West International Airport (KEYW)
• Optimized for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Hand crafted 3D models and high resolution textures
• Accurate ground layout reflecting the current airport configuration
• Realistic runway, taxiway, and apron lighting
• Custom taxiway signage and airport vehicles
• Carefully modeled surroundings to capture the atmosphere of the Florida Keys
• Custom points of interest including Southernmost Point Buoy, Smathers Beach, Mallory Square, and Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park

This release is suitable for regional US routes, Caribbean island hopping, business aviation operations, and general aviation flights. The short runway and water approaches provide a characteristic operational profile that makes KEYW both demanding and rewarding.

We look forward to seeing you on short final to Runway 09.
