Long known as a must-see vacation destination, today, Fort Lauderdale is also the heart of a diverse economic region home to a $13 billion marine and $8.5 billion tourism industries, the state’s largest technology hub, and a rapidly expanding film and television production sector.          One of the key factors driving the city’s emergence as a major commercial center is an extensive transportation network, highlighted by Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE).

Owned and operated by the city, FXE is home to more than 700 aircraft including 115 corporate jets and 40 helicopters. The facility handles approximately 150,000 takeoffs and landings per year, ranking it as one of the ten busiest GA airports in the U.S.
