The airport is near cruise line terminals at Port Everglades and is popular among tourists bound for the Caribbean. Since the late 1990s, FLL has become an intercontinental gateway, although Miami International Airport still handles most long - haul flights. It is the largest base for Spirit Airlines, catering mainly to the airline 's international to domestic network, and it is a focus city for JetBlue and Norwegian Long Haul. It is also a focus city for Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines. In 2016, the top five air carriers by market share were JetBlue Airways at 25 %, Southwest Airlines at 19.7 %, Spirit Airlines at 19.4 %, Delta Air Lines at 10.2 %, and American Airlines at 6.9 %. FLL is ranked as the 19th busiest airport ( in terms of passenger traffic ) in the United States, as well as the nation 's 14th busiest international air gateway and one of the world 's 50 busiest airports. FLL is classified by the US Federal Aviation Administration as a `` major hub '' facility serving commercial air traffic. In 2017 the airport processed 32,511,053 passengers ( 11.3 % more than 2016 ) including 7,183,275 international passengers ( 18.6 % more than 2016 ).

( February 2017 ) 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 Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale. The base was initially used for refitting civil airliners for military service before they were ferried across the Atlantic to Europe and North Africa. NAS Fort Lauderdale later became a main training base for Naval Aviators and enlisted naval air crewmen flying the Grumman TBF and TBM Avenger for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aboard aircraft carriers and from expeditionary airfields ashore. NAS Fort Lauderdale was the home base for Flight 19, the five TBM Avengers that disappeared in December 1945, leading in part to the notoriety of the Bermuda Triangle. NAS Fort Lauderdale closed on October 1, 1946 and was transferred to county control, becoming Broward County International Airport. Commercial flights to Nassau began on June 2, 1953, and domestic flights began in 1958 -- 1959 : Northeast Airlines and National Airlines DC - 6Bs flew nonstop to Idlewild, and Northeast flew nonstop to Washington National. In 1959 the airport opened its first permanent terminal building and assumed its current name. In 1966, the airport averaged 48 airline operations a day ; in 1972, it averaged 173 a day. The Feb 1966 Official Airline Guide shows three nonstop departures to New York -- Kennedy and no other nonstop flights beyond Tampa and Orlando. Five years later. FLL had added nonstop flights to Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York -- La Guardia, Newark, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. ( Northeast 's nonstop to Los Angeles had already been dropped. ) By 1974, the airport was served by Braniff International Airways, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, National Airlines, Northwest Orient Airlines, Shawnee Airlines and United Airlines. By 1979, following deregulation, Air Florida, Bahamasair, Florida Airlines, Mackey International Airlines, Republic Airlines, Trans World Airlines and Western Airlines also served the airport. Low - cost airline traffic grew in the 1990s, with Southwest opening its base in 1996, Spirit in 1999, and JetBlue in 2000. Spirit Airlines made FLL a hub in 2002. In 2003, JetBlue made FLL a focus city. US Airways also planned a hub at Fort Lauderdale in the mid-2000s as part of its reorganization strategy before its merger with America West. Low - cost competition forced several major legacy airlines to cut back service to FLL, with United pulling out of the airport entirely in 2008 and American Airlines moving its New York and Los Angeles services to West Palm Beach in 2013. During the 2005 hurricane season FLL was affected by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma. Katrina struck land in late August as a Category 1 and made landfall on Keating Beach just two miles from the airport ( near the border of Broward and Miami -- Dade counties ) with 80 mph ( 130 km / h ) winds but caused only minor damage ; however, the airport was closed for about a 48 - hour period. However, when Hurricane Wilma made landfall in October 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 Category 2 when its center passed to the west of FLL. In February 2007, the airport started fees to all users, including private aircraft. FLL is one of the few airports to administer fees to private pilots. A minimum charge of $10 is assessed on landing private aircraft. On October 11, 2016, Emirates announced that they would operate a flight from Dubai to Ft. Lauderdale daily using a Boeing 777 - 200LR. The airline decided on Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami, which has considerably longer runways and better facilities for long haul flights, because of its codeshare agreement with JetBlue. The airline started flying on December 2016. On October 27, 2016, British Airways announced a flight from London Gatwick to Ft. Lauderdale three times a week, which began on July 6, 2017. A shooting took place at the airport on January 6, 2017 in Terminal 2, claiming five lives and injuring six. In 2018, NORAD announced that it would be stationing fighter jets at the airport during President Donald Trump 's trips to Mar - a-Lago. Facilities Fort Lauderdale -- Hollywood International Airport covers 1,380 acres ( 558 ha ) and has two runways : 10L / 28R : 9,000 x 150 ft ( 2,743 x 46 m ) Asphalt 10R / 28L : 8,000 x 150 ft ( 2,438 x 46 m ) Concrete ( Opened September 18, 2014. ) In August 2017, there were 102 aircraft based at this airport : 6 single - engine, 17 multi-engine, 68 jet and 11 helicopter. Silver Airways has its headquarters in Suite 201 of the 1100 Lee Wagener Blvd building. When Chalk 's International Airlines existed, its headquarters was on the grounds of the airport in an unincorporated area. Construction Expansion of 10R / 28L Runway In 2003 plans to expand the facility started. Proposed improvements include an extension of runway 10R / 28L, construction and modifications to the airport 's taxiway system to provide for increased speed, improved inter-terminal passenger movement and extensive terminal upgrades. The plan was updated a second time in April 25, 2006. Complaints by nearby communities about noise, along with concerns about buyout requirements, 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 10R / 28L runway. The proposal looks to extend the runway to 8,000 ft in order to accommodate larger aircraft and to allow airplanes to land side by side at the same time. The proposal was approved by the FAA and expansion of the south runway is now complete, with the opening of the runway in September 2014. The crosswind runway ( 13 / 31 ) was decommissioned on May 6, 2013. All four terminals, now having 57 gates, will have 97 with the completion of a new long - haul international Terminal Four and Concourse A at Terminal One. By 2020, Ft. Lauderdale -- Hollywood is projected to handle 36 million passengers annually. Demolition and Reconstruction of Terminal Four During and after the expansion of runway 10R / 28L, reconstruction of Terminal Four will begin at the cost of $450 million. The H concourse will be demolished to build the new `` G '' concourse. In this process four new gates will be added. Concession space will be increased from 2,128 ft2 to 28,000 ft2 and a secure walkway will be added to connect terminals three and four. Terminals Fort Lauderdale -- Hollywood International Airport has four terminals. Terminal 1, commonly referred to as `` The New Terminal, '' opened in stages between 2001 and 2003 and was designed by Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum and Cartaya Associates. The other three terminals were constructed in 1986 and designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills as part of a $263 million construction project. Terminal 4, commonly referred to as the International Terminal, was inaugurated by a Concorde visit in 1983. Since 2005, T4 has been undergoing renovations and a major expansion designed by PGAL / Zyscovich joint venture. The airport announced that Terminal 1, common known as `` The New Terminal '', will undergo $300 million makeover. Construction began in late 2015 and was completed in June 2017. Delta Air Lines 757 - 300 at T2 Terminal 1 : `` New Terminal '' - Yellow The Yellow Terminal has three concourses ( A, B, & C ) and 24 gates. Concourse A opened on July 5, 2017 and has 7 gates ( A1 - A7 ), Concourse B has 7 gates ( B2, B4 - B9, B3 is now A1 ), and Concourse C has 9 gates ( C1 - C9 ). Concourse A mainly serves international travelers. United Airlines operates a United Club in Concourse C, which opened with the new Terminal in May 2001 as a Continental Airlines Presidents Club. This Terminal is only used by Southwest, Alaska, Allegiant, Silver, Frontier, United, Virgin America, and WestJet. Terminal 2 : `` Delta '' Terminal - red The Red Terminal has one concourse ( D ) and 9 gates. Delta Air Lines operates a Sky Club here -- one of six clubrooms in the state of Florida. This Terminal is only used by Delta and Air Canada. Terminal 3 : main Terminal - Purple The Purple Terminal has two concourses ( E & F ) and 20 gates. In May 2013, a food court opened in Concourse F.

Terminal 4 : International Terminal - Green The Green Terminal has one concourse ( G ) and 11 gates ( G1 - G6, G10 - G14 ). Concourse H closed in December 2017 and is currently being demolished. Concourse H is currently being reconfigured and designed by the architectural firms of PGAL / Zyscovich joint venture. The new three - story facility renamed Concourse G will have 14 new gates, 11 of which are international / domestic capable and one arrivals area for bussing operations. New concessions and approximately 50,000 s.f. of administrative offices for the Aviation Department are being designed on the upper levels of the facility. Western Expansion began construction in 2013. Currently, gates G1 - G6 on the east end and G10 - G14 on the west end are operational and in use.

Hamson who retired and died in nearby Boca Raton created a seated middled age man wearing a red T - shirt, blue pants, baseball cap and listening to a walkman during a break. The installation accessories give additional clues to the narrative of the artwork : toy airplane, various signs and announcement for the shop, janitorial supplies.

Ride - sharing apps can also be used to and from the airport in designated pickup and drop - off places found between Terminals 1 and 2 and Terminals 3 and 4. Accidents and incidents On May 18, 1972, an Eastern Air Lines McDonnell Douglas DC - 9 - 31 had its landing gear collapse and tail section separate during landing. The aircraft then caught fire but all passengers and crew were able to safely evacuate. On July 7, 1983, Air Florida Flight 8 with 47 people on board was flying from Fort Lauderdale International Airport to Tampa International Airport. One of the passengers handed a note to one of the flight attendants, saying that he had a bomb, and telling them to fly the plane to Havana, Cuba. He revealed a small athletic bag, which he opened, and inside was an apparent explosive device. The airplane was diverted to Havana - José Martí International Airport, and the hijacker was taken into custody by Cuban authorities. On November 19, 2013, an Air Evac International Learjet 35 crashed shortly after take - off from the airport, on its way to Cozumel, Mexico, after calling mayday and during an attempt to return to the airport, possibly due to engine failure, leaving 4 persons dead. On October 29, 2015, Dynamic Airways Flight 405, a Boeing 767 - 246ER ( N251MY ) was taxiing to a runway to take off for a flight to Caracas, Venezuela. when its left engine caught fire due to a fuel leak. The crew immediately stopped the airplane and fire crews arrived on the scene. All 101 passengers and crew were evacuated the aircraft, and 17 passengers were transported to a hospital. All runways were shut down and air operations ceased at the airport for three hours. On October 28, 2016, Fedex Express Flight 910, a McDonnell Douglas MD - 10 - 10F cargo aircraft ( N370FE ) arriving from Memphis, Tennessee, caught fire after its left landing gear collapsed upon landing. The fire destroyed its left engine and wing. The three - person crew evacuated the aircraft safely. On January 6, 2017, a mass shooting occurred in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2 of the airport. Five people were killed, six others were injured. The shooter was taken into custody without incident and was identified by authorities as Esteban Santiago - Ruiz. Santiago acted alone. In May 2018, Santiago plead guilty to the killings to avoid the death penalty as part of a plea deal. The specifics of the plea deal call for him to serve five consecutive life sentences followed by 120 years in prison without a right to appeal. Santiago is due to be sentenced on August 17, 2018.
