## Description

American Airlines Cargo, Air General and UNIS handle the roughly 105,000 tonnes of air freight that moved through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL/KFLL) in 2025, almost entirely as belly cargo on passenger aircraft rather than dedicated freighters. The airport functions chiefly as a leisure and low-cost gateway for carriers such as JetBlue, Spirit and Southwest, linking South Florida to the Caribbean and Latin America, which structurally caps its air cargo capacity. Interstate 595 and Interstate 95 connect FLL directly to South Florida's distribution network, and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) clears international arrivals on site. Shippers needing dedicated freighter capacity or larger volumes typically route through Miami International Airport (MIA), roughly 40 kilometres south and one of the busiest cargo hubs for Latin America. Broward County, the airport operator, is currently building the new Terminal 5, due for completion in mid-2026 – primarily a passenger investment rather than a cargo expansion. For time-sensitive belly freight to the Caribbean, FLL's dense network of direct flights still makes it a practical complement to MIA. No dedicated freighter operator is currently based at FLL, so shippers should plan cargo bookings around passenger schedules.
