Airport History

Initially established in 1941 as the West Prospect Satellite Field, FXE served as a Naval Aviator training base during World War II. In 1947, the U.S. government deeded the property to the City of Fort Lauderdale, which developed it into a public general aviation airport. Today, it is a critical component of Florida’s aviation infrastructure and a hub for luxury air travel.
