Banyan Air Service at Florida’s Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) is rolling out the red carpet to pilots for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which takes place Oct. 27-Oct. 31.

Pilots flying in for the boat show will get some additional benefits, special hotel rates, fuel discounts, AVTRIP points and a chance to win a $100 gift certificate from the Banyan Pilot Shop.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show spans more than 3 million square feet and six locations including: Bahia Mar, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Marina, Broward County Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale Hilton Marina, Sails Marina and more.

This year’s event will feature over $3 billion worth of boats, yachts, super yachts, electronics, engines and thousands of boating accessories from major marine manufacturers and boat builders across the globe, as well as exotic cars, clothing and jewelry.  Other activities at the boat show include marine seminars, fishing clinics, live musical entertainment and an International Food Garden.
