Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL, FAA LID: FLL) – also known as Fort Lauderdale Airport and historically as Merle Fogg Field and Broward County International Airport – is a major public airport located in Broward County, Florida, United States, roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 21 miles (34 km) north of Miami.^[1]^[3] The second busiest of the Miami metropolitan area's commercial airports, it is located off Interstate 595, Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1, Florida State Road A1A, and Florida State Road 5, and is bounded by the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.^[1]^[3]

With over 700 daily flights to 135 domestic and international destinations, the airport has become an intercontinental gateway since the late 1990s, although 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, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, and Boca Raton areas, and a secondary airport for parts of Miami and areas north of Boca Raton for flights that are not served by Palm Beach International Airport, such as Delray Beach, Jupiter, Boynton Beach, and 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 Miramar.^[4] 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.^[5]
