Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) sits 6 miles south of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 23 miles north of downtown Miami. Commercial service is dominant — KFLL is a major Spirit hub and one of the busiest South Florida airports — and the field handles meaningful business-aviation flow, particularly large-cabin international charters that benefit from full CBP and the smoother passenger experience versus KMIA.

The two runways (10R/28L 9,000 ft, 10L/28R 8,000 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Sheltair is the principal private terminal at KFLL. For most South Florida charter, KFXE (Fort Lauderdale Executive, 6 miles north of downtown) is the broker default for the Fort Lauderdale market specifically — closer to the corporate offices on Cypress Creek Road and dramatically less congested. KFLL makes sense primarily for international VIP arrivals and for charter where the commercial-airport experience is preferred. The operational considerations are slot pressure during peak commercial banks, summer thunderstorms, hurricane season (June–November), and the steady cruise-ship related passenger flow that defines south Florida. Field elevation is 9 feet, no density-altitude concerns. Ground time to Las Olas / downtown Fort Lauderdale is 10–15 minutes; Miami Beach is 30–45.

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is a major public airport located in unincorporated Broward County, Florida, United States, roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 21 miles (34 km) north of Miami. The second busiest of the Miami metropolitan area's commercial airports, it is located off I-595, I-95, Highway 1, SR A1A, and SR 5, and is bounded by the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.
