North Runway Post-Flooding Operations Update No. 2

North Runway Post-Flooding Ops - Update No. 2-web.png

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) restored unrestricted operations on its 9,000-foot North Runway (10L-28R) as of 4PM on May 18, 2023.  The full restoration of North Runway operations follows federal approval of temporary repairs to airfield areas damaged during April’s historic rainfall and flooding.  As a result, neighborhoods immediately south and west of the South Runway should start seeing a decrease in late-night/early AM flight activity. However, additional adjustments to the North Runway’s operations will occur when materials become available to fully repair the damage on this airfield. 

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Updates will be shared when new information is available.

​​North Runway Post-Flooding Operations Upd​​ate  No. 1

​​​​

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) experienced an unprecedented rain event on April 12, 2023, resulting in severe flooding and extensive damage to some areas of the North Runway (10L-28R).

While FLL has made significant strides in recovering from the flooding, flight operations on the North Runway remain at reduced capacity due to ongoing assessments and work to restore impacted airfield areas to their previous capabilities. 

As such, neighborhoods immediately south and west of the South Runway may see increased flight activity than previously experienced during specific periods of the day until further notice.

We apologize for any inconvenience and ask for your patience and understanding as we work diligently to ensure the North Runway meets all safety and regulatory requirements to resume 100% operations as soon as possible.

When new information is available, the airport will post updates on the North Runway's progress.  

For questions or comments, email us at RunwayUpdates@broward.org. ​​​​​​
