Broadway Helicopters Heliport

Economic/Business Reasons. The heliport closed because its operator, Broadway Helicopters, LLC, ceased operations. The company's official dissolution for failure to file an annual report indicates it was no longer a going concern. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site is currently a vacant, paved lot. The helipad markings and the small building used for operations have been completely removed. The land is situated behind commercial retail buildings (including an Alvin's Island store) and adjacent to the Okaloosa Island Fire Department station. It appears to be unused or serves as occasional overflow parking.

The heliport was a private commercial facility used exclusively by Broadway Helicopters, LLC. Its primary operation was conducting sightseeing and tourism flights over Fort Walton Beach, Destin, and the surrounding Emerald Coast. Operating for over a decade (from 2005 to 2017), it was a well-known local tourist attraction, offering aerial views of the coastline, beaches, and marine life. The identifier 'US-11237' is an internal catalog number from third-party airport databases and not an official ICAO or FAA code.

None known. The operating company is dissolved, and the heliport infrastructure has been dismantled. There are no public records, news reports, or development plans indicating any intention to reopen a heliport at this specific location.
