Aircraft Detailing at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport

Two grooved runways, 9/27 at 6,002 feet and 13/31 at 4,000 feet, sit under a control tower whose construction the FAA commissioned in November 2013, designed to withstand hurricane-strength winds. The city's noise FAQ, drawing on figures through 2019, says jets made up 14 percent of operations and that quieter Stage 3 jets have flown all jet activity since 2016. Even so, FXE placed 20th nationally in the 2025 NATA/AvAdvisors table with 31,566 business-jet movements. Customs is available from 0800 to 2359, with the customs ramp at taxiway G7, in FAA remarks AirNav shows as effective 29 October 2026. Banyan lists a 24-hour FBO with hangar space up to a G650, and Atlantic opens 0600 to 2200 with on-call service arranged in advance.

Washing is written into the City Code. Chapter 7, Section 7-3(14), in the 2017 rules file the airport links, says aircraft cleaning may only take place in areas the airport manager approves and under the stormwater pollution prevention plan, using biodegradable soap and no solvents or degreasers. Wet-wash water must pass through an oil-water separator or into a containment tank before reaching the sanitary sewer, while dry washing is allowed where no separator exists.
