It serves the corporate, recreational and training aviation uses, as well as other activities, and ranks as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country.
“The City of Fort Lauderdale has been a tremendous partner by providing a facility with style and functionality that is one of the best equipped facilities in the country,” said U.S. Customs and Border Protection Port Director Jorge L. Roig. “We look forward to building on our partnership to better serve our community.”
