The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) this week began offering a COVID-19 virus testing service at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) as an additional amenity for the traveling public.
The BCAD is partnering with Miramar-based Spirit Airlines and Nomi Health of Utah on the testing service located pre-security in Terminal 3, on the lower level near baggage claim.
The opening of FLL’s on-site testing service comes as more international and domestic destinations require travelers to present a negative COVID-19 test as part of their entry requirements and/or submit to quarantine restrictions.
The testing, either rapid antigen or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), will require online registration for appointments via the Nomi Health web page and proof of an upcoming FLL flight.
“We recognize this is an amenity that’s in demand by our patrons due to destination requirements, and by giving passengers the option to get tested at FLL, we’re hoping this will be another opportunity to boost consumer confidence in flying,” said Mark Gale, airport CEO and director of aviation. “The testing offered will be available to all airline passengers flying from FLL.”
