Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL, FAA LID: FLL) 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.
With over 700 daily flights to 135 domestic and international destinations, the airport has become an intercontinental gateway since the late 1990s, although West Palm Beach International Airport and Miami International Airport still handles most long-haul flights in and out of South Florida. It serves as a primary airport for the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood areas, and a secondary airport for parts of Miami and areas north of West Palm Beach. The airport is a base for Allegiant Air and JetBlue, as well as for Spirit Airlines, which has its corporate headquarters located in nearby Dania Beach. It is also the primary South Florida airport for Southwest Airlines.
The airport is classified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a "major hub" facility serving commercial air traffic.
