Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International (FLL / KFLL)

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport serves Fort Lauderdale, United States, and is one of the busiest private aviation gateways in South Florida.

FLL sits roughly 3 miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale (an estimated 10–15 minute transfer) and approximately 30–45 minutes from Miami Beach depending on traffic and time of day, making it a viable alternative to Miami's own executive airports.

The airport and its FBOs operate 24 hours, with customs and border protection available on request around the clock. Advance notice of at least one hour is typically requested for international arrivals.

FLL's primary runway measures approximately 9,000 feet, sufficient for heavy and ultra-long-range jets without weight restrictions under most conditions.

Suitable for the full range of private aircraft, from light jets and turboprops through heavy and ultra-long-range jets. There are no notable weight or noise restrictions that limit standard business aviation traffic.

As a joint commercial and private-use airport, slot availability during peak commercial hours can occasionally affect scheduling flexibility; FBOs coordinate slot timing directly with air traffic control.

Chauffeured vehicles can typically meet aircraft ramp-side by prior arrangement. Rental car and rideshare pickup are also available at the FBO. See Viatar's luxury car planning→ to arrange a transfer in advance.

FBO amenities typically include private lounges, meeting rooms, crew rest facilities, catering coordination and ramp-side vehicle access.

Travelers heading further south may prefer Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) or Miami International (MIA); see the airport directory→ for a full comparison.

FLL is a common arrival point for flights from the Northeast, including New York to Miami→ itineraries where FLL serves as an alternative to Miami-area airports (estimated flight time 2h 45m).
