Pompano Beach Airpark
Pompano Beach Airpark is a public airport owned by the City of Pompano Beach, Florida. It sits about 19 feet above sea level and is located just northeast of downtown Pompano Beach. The airport codes are IATA: PPM, ICAO: KPMP, and FAA LID: PMP.
The airpark has three asphalt runways: 6/24 is 4,001 feet long, 10/28 is 3,502 feet, and 15/33 is 4,918 feet. It covers 650 acres and operates with an air traffic control tower through the FAA Contract Tower Program.
In 2017, Pompano Beach Airpark recorded about 169,722 aircraft operations (mostly general aviation) and had 131 aircraft based there, including single-engine planes, multi-engine planes, helicopters, and a few jets. The Goodyear Blimp Spirit of Innovation is based at the airport.
History highlights: The airport was built during World War II as a naval outlying landing field for Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale. The City of Pompano Beach took ownership in 1947 under the Surplus Property Act and renamed it Pompano Beach Air Park to emphasize general aviation use. Runway 15–33 was shortened in 1971 from 5,000 feet to about 4,418 feet and later extended to 4,918 feet by 2025. Over the years, surrounding land was acquired and transferred, shaping the current 650-acre property. The Surplus Property Act limits the land to aviation use, with proceeds from any non-aviation sales used to support airport growth.
