## Description

Fort Lauderdale calls itself the yachting capital of the world, and its executive airport runs on the same clientele. Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (IATA: FXE, ICAO: KFXE), city-owned and surrounded by an industrial airpark, hosts business jets, major FBOs, avionics and MRO shops. Its two asphalt runways of roughly 1'830 and 1'220 metres cap operations at business jets and turboprops, ruling out widebody freighters. US Customs and Border Protection clears international arrivals daily from 08:00 to midnight at a newly built facility off taxiway G7, which makes direct inbound flights from the Caribbean and Latin America practical. Dedicated freight infrastructure does not exist here — no cargo terminal, no integrator hub — so shipments move via Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) or Miami International (MIA), each under half an hour away. For corporate flight departments across South Florida, FXE has ranked among the go-to addresses for decades; for forwarders it matters only for courier and charter work.
