Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL, FAA
LID: FLL) is an international commercial airport located in Dania Beach, three
miles (5 km) southwest of the central business district of Fort Lauderdale, a
city in Broward County, Florida, United States.[1] It is also located near the
cities of Hollywood and 21 miles (33.7 km) north of Miami.
In 2007, the airport processed 22,681,903 passengers including 2,858,047
international passengers. Currently ranked as the 22nd busiest airport (in terms
of passenger traffic) in the United States as well as the nation's 15th busiest
international air gateway, FLL is the fastest-growing major airport in the
country.[2] Also the facility ranks as one of the 50 busiest airports in the
world. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport serves as a focus city
for AirTran Airways, Allegiant Air, and JetBlue Airways. The airport is the
largest hub for Spirit Airlines, catering mainly to the airline's international
to domestic network. The airport's close proximity to cruise line terminals at
Port Everglades has also made it popular among tourists bound for the Caribbean.
Since the late 1990s, FLL has emerged as an intercontinental gateway as well,
especially for charter carriers, although Miami International Airport still
handles most long-haul flights to and from South Florida. The airport offers
free Wi-Fi Internet access throughout its terminals.
History
Merle Fogg Airport opened on an abandoned 9-hole golf course on May 1, 1929. At
the start of World War II, it was commissioned by the United States Navy and
renamed NAS Fort Lauderdale. The base was initially used for refitting civil
airliners for military service before they were ferried across the South
Atlantic to Europe and North Africa. NAS Fort Lauderdale later became the main
training base for naval aviators. George H. W. Bush learned to fly while
stationed at the base in 1943.
In 1946, Broward County purchased the NAS Fort Lauderdale property to redevelop
it as a commercial airport. The base closed down that year and was transferred
to county control in 1948, becoming Broward County International Airport.
Commercial flights to Nassau began on June 2, 1953, and domestic flights began
in 1958, operated by Eastern Air Lines, National Airlines, and Northeast
Airlines. In 1959, the airport opened its first permanent terminal building and
assumed its current name.
Operations at FLL grew along with Broward County's population. Passenger traffic
reached 1 million in 1969 and 10 million in 1994. Low-cost traffic propelled the
airport's growth in the 1990s, with Southwest opening its base in 1996, Spirit
in 1999, and JetBlue in 2001. Spirit made FLL a hub in 2002, and in 2003,
JetBlue made FLL a focus city.
During the 2005 hurricane season, FLL had been affected by Hurricane Katrina and
Hurricane Wilma. Katrina had struck as a Cat 1 and caused little damage, but the
airport was closed for about a 48 hour period. However, when Hurricane Wilma
struck, roof damage was reported along with broken windows, damaged jetways, and
destroyed canopies. The airport was closed for a period of 5 days. Hurricane
Wilma was a Cat 3 when it struck FLL.
Beginning February 2007, the airport initiated user fees to all users, including
private aircraft. It is one of a handful of airports to administer fees to
private pilots. A minimum charge of $10 is assessed to private aircraft which
land at the airport.
The airport has been used by filmmakers as a location shot numerous times, the
most famous of these being scenes from Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in
Paradise.
Facilities and aircraft
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport covers an area of 1,380 acres
(558 ha) and has three runways:
In 2003, plans were started to expand the facility to meet increasing demand.
Proposed improvements include an extension of runway 9R/27L to accommodate
larger air carrier jet aircraft, construction and modifications to the airport's
taxiway system to provide for increased speed, improved inter-terminal passenger
movement and extensive terminal upgrades. As of April 25, 2006 the master plan
for this expansion was being updated for a second time. Concerns and complaints
by nearby communities about increased noise from larger jet aircraft, along with
concerns about buyout requirements, have delayed construction that is expected
to keep Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport viable through 2020.
On June 5, 2007, Broward County commissioners voted six to three in favor of
extending the southern 9R/27L runway. The proposal looks to extend the runway to
over 8,000 ft (2,400 m). over a five year period. Currently, the plan being sent
for approval by the FAA.
For 12-month period ending June 30, 2006, the airport had 310,255 aircraft
operations, an average of 850 per day: 58% scheduled commercial (179,305), 23%
air taxi (71,630), 19% general aviation (58,942) and <1% military (378). There
are 100 aircraft based at this airport: 48% multi engine (48), 40% jet aircraft
(40), 9% single engine (9) and 3% helicopters (3).

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has four terminals. Terminal 1,
