RON GARDNER AIRCRAFT OBSERVATION AREA
The Ron Gardner Aircraft Observation Area is a designated aircraft viewing area located on the west side of the airport. It is named after long time Aviation Department employee and airport friend, Ron Gardner. The Observation Area is open from sunrise to sunset.
It is the perfect location to watch aircraft taking off and landing. Loud speakers continuously broadcast the radio transmissions between the tower and the aircraft and lend an element of realism to the experience. The Observation Area is a great place to spend a lunch hour or to introduce kids to the joy of flight.
The Ron Gardner Aircraft Observation Area is located near the southwest corner of Perimeter Road on Southwest 39th Street.

HURRICANE TIPS
Call your airline or check the airline's web site for the latest flight schedule. When the airport closes/reopens due to a hurricane, the airlines are the best source of information for their cancelled and rescheduled flights.
Do not use the parking garage to store your car during a hurricane.
Terminals are not designed as hurricane shelters. As a hurricane approaches, all passengers and airline personnel will evacuate the terminals and they will close. The terminals will reopen after the storm passes and declared safe to re-enter.
Within two miles of the airport, tune to 1670 AM for updated information about parking and traffic conditions at FLL.
The safety of travelers, airline employees, and FLL employees is our primary concern. The Broward County Aviation Department will do everything possible to maintain regular operations so the airlines may continue to fly.
GETTING RESULTS. GETTING RECOGNITION.
FLL is not only committed to the millions of travelers who visit the Gold Coast, the Airport also cares about the people who live here. That's why one of FLL's environmental projects is a beautiful, mile-plus green belt of trees and walking trails. This scenic oasis was designed to help reduce airport noise for residents living directly south of the Airport. The Airport's serious commitment to the environment helped earn FLL the prestigious Jay Hollingsworth Speas award from the American Association of Airport Executives and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 1995, the Federal Aviation Association Southern Region Airports Division also awarded FLL the Air Carrier Airport Safety Award.
