WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Transportation's (DoT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dedicated a new $16.4 million, state-of-the-art airport traffic control tower at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. The new tower is equipped with the latest radar, communications, and weather technology. It will enable air traffic controllers to continue to provide the safest, most efficient service to flights at the busy South Florida airport.

The new facility includes a 117-foot-tall airport traffic control tower topped by a 525-square-foot tower cab. A 7,200-square-foot single-story base building houses training rooms, administrative offices, and equipment rooms.

NextGen is the transformation of the National Airspace System to make air travel more convenient and dependable, and ensure flights are as safe, secure, and seamless as possible.

The FAA began working from the new tower on November 4, 2014. A total of 22 air traffic controllers, two front line managers and the air traffic manager staff the tower. They handled 182,237 operations in 2014. The tower's support staff includes 19 Technical Operations technicians, staff, and managers who are based at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
