About Naples Aviation
Naples Aviation operates from the recently renovated General Aviation Terminal at Naples Municipal Airport, completing a significant remodel that saw the FBO resume operations from the upgraded space in November 2021. The renovation transformed the first floor into a modern FBO designed with a Southwest Florida aesthetic. Passengers are greeted by a light and bright terminal featuring an indoor living wall of plants, an expanded passenger lounge, and a marketplace offering refreshments. The second floor houses upgraded office space for the Naples Airport Authority. Complimentary valet services handle vehicle parking, and both 24-hour short-term and long-term parking options are available. On-site US Customs is located at the terminal, making international arrivals straightforward for flights coming from the Caribbean, Central America, or other foreign origins. Naples Municipal Airport serves as the primary private aviation gateway for Southwest Florida's affluent Gulf Coast communities, including Naples, Marco Island, and the surrounding Collier County area. The airport is located just two miles from downtown Naples, putting passengers within minutes of Fifth Avenue, the beaches, and the major resort properties. The airport handles over 100,000 annual operations, making it one of the busiest single-runway general aviation airports in the country. For charter passengers, Naples Aviation's renovated terminal offers a welcoming arrival experience that reflects the area's upscale character. The indoor living wall and marketplace concept give the FBO a contemporary feel that goes beyond the standard lounge-and-coffee setup. The on-site customs capability is a practical advantage for passengers returning from island destinations. Naples Jet Center operates as the second FBO on the field, giving passengers a choice of handler.
