FORT LAUDERDALE HOLLYWOOD AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport

In 1928, World War I aviator Merle Fogg purchased an abandoned 9-hole golf course that was destroyed in the 1926 Miami hurricane for $1,200. On May 1, 1929, the airport officially opened as Merle Fogg Field with two criss-cross unpaved runways. At the start of World War II, it was commissioned by the United States Navy and renamed Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale. The runways were paved, and a control tower was built. The base was initially used forrefitting civilian airliners for military service before they were ferried across the Atlantic to Europe and North Africa.

NAS Fort Lauderdale later became the main training base for Naval Aviators and enlisted naval air crewmen to fly the Grumman TBF and TBM Avenger for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aboard aircraft carriers and from expeditionary airfields ashore. NAS Fort Lauderdale was the home base for Flight 19, the five TBM Avengers that disappeared in December 1945, contributing in part to the notoriety of the Bermuda Triangle.

Terminal: Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport has four terminals with 66 gates. Terminal 1, commonly referred to as "The New Terminal," opened in stages between 2001 and 2003 and was designed by Hellmuth, Obata, Kassabaum, and Cartaya Associates.

The other three terminals were constructed in 1986 and designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills as part of a $263 million construction project.

Terminal 4, commonly referred to as the International Terminal, was inaugurated by a Concorde visit in 1983. Since 2005, T4 has been undergoing renovations and a major expansion designed by the PGAL/Zyscovich joint venture. The airport announced that Terminal 1, commonly known as "The New Terminal", underwent a $300 million makeover. Construction began in late 2015 and was completed in June 2017.
