The international airport in Fort Lauderdale on its way to
become a real competition for Miami – the biggest airport in South-Florida.
A few year ago, Broward County started their update and expansion
of the Fort Lauderdale airport FLL. The runways on the airport was not long
enough for the bigger airlines from overseas and therefore the incoming
foreigners often had to make a stop in one of the bigger airports like Atlanta
or New York to change to a smaller aircraft.
The airport expansion was very controversial because of the
noise level that comes with it. However, the Broward County help the homeowners
nearby to get noise protection at their houses.
On September 18, the new runway opened and marked the
completion of the major improvement part of the project. With this new runway,
many new air carriers can use this airport. The runway that was expended to the
east above the Federal Highway (US 1) is capable to handle aircrafts like the
747.
This runway expansion brought already new airlines with
direct connections from Europe and there are more to come. The costs for the
aircraft service and turn around are much cheaper than in Miami and that is a
big benefit for the airlines.
On my event yesterday, I already heard many comments from very
satisfied customer. It is not only the service at the airport but also the less
jammed roads to and from the airport.
The face-lift is not yet finished. The next portion is the
renovation and the remodeling of the existing airport facilities and the
construction of a new concourse to handle the growing passenger numbers.
I am very excited to see the finished result. For my trip to
Europe, I will certainly use this airport.
