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.
