THE AIRPORTS

Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is in the heart of Greater Fort Lauderdale’s Gold Coast. This strategic location provides a catchment area of more than six million people. A considerable portion of the population is affluent and leads the state in travel expenditures.

The Aviation Department, FLL’s operator, is a self-supporting agency of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners that does not rely on local tax dollars for operations and capital improvements.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Airport generated $37.5 billion in economic activity annually for the local economy and nearly 18,000 direct local jobs. There are 633 full-time employees at FLL and North Perry Airport, and the FLL Operational Budget (FY26) is $427.7 million.

In 2025, the Airport served 32.2 million passengers. FLL has been recognized by Airports Council International, a prominent authority in the aviation industry, as the fastest-growing large hub airport in the U.S. in recent years.

In March 2026, FLL had an average of more than 399 departures a day. FLL offers non-stop service to 103 U.S. cities and global connectivity to 44 international destinations in 22 countries.

To meet the growing demand for the future, FLL is reimagining itself. Starting in 2014, FLL completed the construction of a new South Runway (10R-28L). In October 2019, the airport completed a four-month rehabilitation of its North Runway (10L-28R). Portions of the runway date back to 1943 when FLL was a Naval Training Base during World War II.

The airport’s terminals, concourses, roadways, and airfield are being remodeled, updated, and expanded as part of a $5 billion program. New and exciting amenities have been added to enhance the customer experience. Major new investments include a new five-gate Terminal 5, Terminal Connectors, and a future Intermodal Center and Automated People Mover.

New international passenger processing facilities have been added to meet the rapidly growing increase in international passengers, and FLL recently completed a new Master Plan that was subsequently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The plan has identified future passenger demand and has outlined what facilities, changes, and improvements are required to meet that demand for the next 20 years.

North Perry Airport (HWO), also operated by the Aviation Department of Broward County, is a general aviation facility devoted exclusively to private and business light-plane activity.
Concessionaires offer fuel, service, air charter, flight instruction, aircraft sales, maintenance, storage, and other services for the flying public. In FY2025, there were 309,457 aircraft operations at the airport; in FY2024, there were 309,693 aircraft operations.

The airport encompasses 170 T-hangars, four fixed-base operators, twelve flight schools, 409 based aircraft, and an Air Traffic Control Tower. Today, HWO accounts for 1,163 direct and indirect jobs and generates total business sales of approximately $119.1 million, according to the results of a recent FDOT Economic Impact Study.
