WELCOME TO THE FDOT AVIATION OFFICE AIRPORT DATA VIEWER!

Your portal to comprehensive airport planning and development resources for Florida’s public-use airports!

Florida’s airports are more than just travel hubs – they are economic engines that foster prosperity and development in their communities. They are also complex entities that take a great deal of vision and planning to meet their community’s needs. This FDOT Airport Data Viewer was developed to provide interested stakeholders with a high-level overview of Florida’s 128 public-use airports. This data is provided across six primary categories that progress from left to right at the top of this page. Topics include:

  • Economic Impact
  • Planning Documents
  • State-Funded Projects
  • Licensing Inspections
  • Pavement Inspections
  • Airport Directory Information

Please explore the data, documents, and resources provided in this Data Viewer to learn more about Florida’s dynamic aviation system. If you have any questions, please reach out to the FDOT Aviation Office at or (850) 414-4500.

Economic Impact

Apart from providing air travel, the figures below represent one of the most important impacts of Florida airports on their communities. The FDOT AO periodically commissions Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Studies (AEIS) to quantify and communicate the contributions of Florida’s airports and aviation industry at local, regional (FDOT District), and statewide levels. The most recent project, the 2022 Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study (2022 AEIS) is an update to the previously completed 2019 AEIS and includes quantitative results, qualitative case studies, and real-life stories that justify continued investment for the robust aviation system in the Sunshine State.
