Emirates ended service to Fort Lauderdale in 2020. In 2021, it began flying to Miami instead, which had more cargo traffic and connecting flights to other countries.[1] In the same year, Norwegian decided to discontinue all of its flights to the United States, leaving the airport without transatlantic service. Norse Atlantic Airways launched a direct flight to Oslo in June 2022.[2] In April 2023, historic flooding in the area caused severe disruptions at the airport, culminating in a complete closure as rainwater flooded parts of the tarmac and airport property.[3] Norse Atlantic relocated to Miami in pursuit of more passengers and cargo in September 2023. The airline was also flying to London-Gatwick and had a crew base in Fort Lauderdale at the time.[4] In the same month, El Al commenced a seasonal route to Tel Aviv for the Jewish High Holidays. It transitioned to year-round service in April 2024 despite the ongoing Israel–Hamas war and an Iranian attack on Israel two days prior. After Miami, Fort Lauderdale was El Al's second destination in South Florida, which has a large Jewish population.[5][6]

Seeking to attract European tourists, Malaysia Airlines commenced direct flights from London's Heathrow Airport to Langkawi in October 2003.[7]

Malaysia Airlines inaugurated service from London's Heathrow Airport to Penang in October 2003. The route was targeted at European holidaymakers.[8][9] Nonstop flights in the opposite direction were not offered.[10]

After the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran during World War II, two runways were built.[11]

A new terminal opened in August 1958, with Reza Shah cutting the ribbon at the inauguration ceremony.[12] In the 1960s, the United States Army Corps of Engineers finished work on the airport's paved surfaces, which included adding taxiways and enlarging the apron.[13][14]

On 5 December 1974, the roof collapsed on the main lounge of the terminal after a heavy snowfall, killing 16 people.[15][16]
