The Pompano Beach Airpark is located in the heart of the Gold Coast and serves the general aviation needs of Broward County. This air transportation facility is owned and operated by the City of Pompano Beach and is a public use facility.
Constructed during World War II as a satellite training field serving the Naval Air Station located at what is now Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. On August 29, 1947, the City of Pompano Beach obtained the Airport under the Surplus Property Act of 1947 and renamed it Pompano Beach Air Park, due to its intent to limit the airport's usage to general aviation. For the same reason, the City shortened the primary Runway 15-33 from its original length of 5,000 feet to its current usable landing length of 4,420 feet in 1971.
The airport provides a multitude of general aviation services including: flight training, aircraft rental, air taxi/charter, scenic rides, air ambulance, aerial photography, mapping and surveying, search & rescue, storage hangers, aircraft sales, maintenance, avionics repairs and ramp services (aircraft fueling, tie-downs, catering, etc.
The airport is also one of only three bases in the United States that operates the famous Goodyear Blimp. Goodyear has operated a Blimp base in Pompano Beach, Florida, since 1979. The Pompano Beach base features a hangar and separate office building that serves as the operational command center for the pilots, base administrator and public relations specialist.
In addition to being the home of the famed Goodyear blimp the airport is also the home of Daher’s 32,000 square foot North American headquarters.
