Closest Airport to Davie, FL: Every Option Ranked

What is the closest airport to Davie, Florida?

If you fly often, airport access belongs on your Davie buying checklist next to flood zone, HOA, and lot size. The good news for anyone relocating here is simple. Davie sits in a corner of Broward County where five airports fall within about an hour’s drive, and the biggest option is also the closest one.

Here is what I tell relocation buyers and snowbirds who ask me which airport they will actually use once they own a home in Davie.

Every airport near Davie, ranked by drive

Davie is centrally placed in Broward County, so you are never far from a runway. The order below runs from closest to farthest, and it holds for most of Davie no matter which side of town you land on.

Distances and drive times are approximate and depend on where in Davie you live and on traffic. Confirm your specific address against a live map before you decide.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) is the one you will use most. It is the closest major airport to Davie and reaches a large slate of domestic destinations plus a long list of international ones, all run by the Broward County Aviation Department. For a family that flies back to the Northeast a few times a year, or an executive who still commutes to another market, a 15 minute run to FLL is the quiet reason a Davie address just works.

Miami International (MIA) is your long haul backup. It carries more international carriers and more nonstop options to Latin America and Europe than FLL. From Davie you are looking at about 35 to 45 minutes, east on I-595 to I-95 or the Turnpike and then south, so it is realistic for a big international trip even if it is not your everyday airport.

Palm Beach International (PBI) is the pressure valve. It is farther, about an hour north, but it is smaller and calmer, and some flyers prefer it for specific routes or to dodge holiday crowds at FLL. Worth knowing, not worth driving to every week.

FXE and North Perry are private and general aviation only. Neither one sells you an airline ticket. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) serves business jets and charters. North Perry (HWO) is a general aviation field in Pembroke Pines. If you own or charter a private aircraft, both matter. If you fly commercial, you can skip them.

Davie itself is a single family town, and the market reflects that. The median single family sale price in Davie is $892,500 (single-family median, trailing 182 days ending Sep 14, 2026, based on 209 listings, per BeachesMLS), and the acreage and gated segments run well above that. Airport proximity is one more practical reason move up and relocation buyers keep landing here instead of pushing farther from the coast.

Will planes fly over your Davie home?

This is the question most relocation buyers forget to ask until they are unpacking. It matters, and the honest answer is that it depends on your exact street.

FLL runs a real noise program, and the Town of Davie publishes its own page on it. The Town of Davie aircraft noise information page notes that the Broward County Aviation Department has installed noise monitoring equipment at two Davie locations, Tree Tops Park and the Everglades Mobile Home Park, as part of a system of permanent monitors tied to radar tracking. The county also runs a noise abatement departure program and a public comment hotline. That tells you two things. Some parts of Davie do sit under arrival or departure corridors, and there is a public process if noise ever becomes an issue.

The other source of overhead traffic is North Perry (HWO). It is a busy general aviation and flight training field just south of Davie in Pembroke Pines, and Broward County publishes details on operations and community input through its North Perry Airport page and a community advisory committee. Homes in far southwestern Davie near the 33331 corridor and the 33330 acreage areas around Long Lake Ranches (33330) and Hawkes Bluff (33330) are the most likely to notice light aircraft overhead. Central and eastern Davie, roughly 33324 and the 33314 and 33312 areas closer to FLL, deal more with commercial approach paths than training traffic.

Here is the move. Before you write an offer, stand in the backyard for twenty minutes at different times of day, and check the noise corridor and monitoring detail on the Town and county pages above. Weather plays into it too, since South Florida afternoon storms and hurricane season reroute traffic and stack delays, and the National Weather Service in Miami is the authority on that. This is exactly the kind of detail I walk buyers through before they fall for a house, because the listing photos never show you the flight path.

Getting to FLL without a car, and the relocation fit

You do not have to drive to fly out of Davie. FLL has its own Tri-Rail station just west of the terminals, with a free shuttle that loops to every concourse, so a car free trip to the gate is realistic from parts of Davie near the corridor. Brightline riders can reach FLL through the downtown Fort Lauderdale station and the airport connector shuttle as well. For a snowbird who leaves the second car up north, that flexibility is worth real money.

For relocation buyers, the takeaway is clean. Davie gives you a major international airport 15 minutes away, a second international hub inside 40 minutes, and a quieter commercial option about an hour north, without living under a flight path unless you specifically choose a corridor street. Compare that to a lot of suburbs where the nearest real airport is an hour each way, and airport access quietly becomes a reason Davie wins. If you are also weighing the daily drive rather than the flight, the Davie to Miami commute breakdown and the Davie versus Pembroke Pines taxes and commute comparison both run the numbers.

Airport access is one line on a much longer relocation checklist. The full picture, from neighborhoods to timing, lives in the complete guide to moving to Davie, and the real monthly math is in the Davie cost of living breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Davie from Fort Lauderdale airport?

Most of Davie sits about 7 to 8 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which works out to roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive northeast on I-595 in normal traffic. It is the closest major commercial airport to Davie and the one you will use for most trips.

Is Miami airport or Fort Lauderdale airport better for Davie?

For everyday travel, FLL wins on distance since it is about 15 minutes from Davie versus 35 to 45 minutes to Miami International (MIA). MIA is the better choice when you need a specific long haul international route, because it carries more international carriers and nonstop options than FLL.

Is there airport noise in Davie, Florida?

Some parts of Davie sit under FLL arrival or departure corridors, and the Town of Davie publishes an aircraft noise information page with monitoring locations and a county comment hotline. Southwestern Davie can also hear light aircraft from North Perry, a general aviation field in Pembroke Pines. Noise depends heavily on your exact street, so check the specific address.

What is North Perry Airport and does it affect Davie homes?

North Perry (HWO) is a general aviation and flight training airport in Pembroke Pines, just south of Davie, with no commercial airline service. Homes in far southwestern Davie near the 33331 and 33330 areas are the most likely to notice small aircraft overhead. It does not sell airline tickets, so it is a noise consideration, not a travel option.

Can you get to the airport from Davie without driving?

Yes. FLL has its own Tri-Rail station just west of the terminals with a free shuttle to every concourse, and Brightline riders can connect through the downtown Fort Lauderdale station and airport shuttle. For snowbirds and single car households, that makes a car free trip to the gate realistic from parts of Davie.
