Dear Friends,
We hope you had a safe and healthy Easter holiday season. For Women’s History Month, FLL saluted the contributions of females to the aviation industry on social media to recognize International Women’s Day, March 8.
In March, our airport was kept busy as spring travel activity clipped along at a steady groove with crowds of college students, cruise enthusiasts, and other travelers flying through. During the month, JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines gave a major update on their merger agreement announcing their intent to end their planned combination. For FLL, where JetBlue and Spirit account for about 50 percent of passenger traffic, the Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) expects both airlines to continue operating independently while pursuing growth opportunities here as they did prior to their merger plans.
Also, in March, FLL airlines serving Haiti suspended flights to Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitien due to growing civil unrest in the country. We continue to keep the people of Haiti and their loved ones in South Florida in our thoughts during this difficult time.
For April, FLL has several events on tap, including its first Honor Flight of 2024, new year-round nonstop service to Tel Aviv, Israel via EL AL Airlines, and our 9th Autism in Flight, simulated travel experience for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, so stay tuned.
Happy Spring!
