About Base Operations at Page Field
Base Operations at Page Field is one of the top-rated FBOs in the Americas, earning consistent recognition from Aviation International News, Professional Pilot, and FltPlan.com readers since 2014. The facility delivers a passenger experience that punches well above what you might expect from a general aviation airport in Southwest Florida.
The contemporary 22,000-square-foot terminal has a distinctive World War II theme, reflecting Page Field's history as a military training base during the 1940s. A full-size replica P-51 Mustang hangs from the lobby ceiling, surrounded by original wartime photographs. Beyond the unique decor, the facility includes over 600,000 square feet of ramp space, helicopter pads, and two 24,000-square-foot multi-use hangars. NATA-certified line service agents handle aircraft with professional care.
Base Operations provides full-service Jet-A and 100LL avgas, as well as self-serve 100LL for light aircraft. The competitive fuel pricing is a frequently cited advantage, and the staff coordinates rental cars, catering, and ground transportation. The facility sits adjacent to I-75 and US-41, providing quick access to Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Naples, and the rest of the Southwest Florida coast.
Page Field's location within the Fort Myers metro area makes it far more convenient than Southwest Florida International Airport for reaching the beaches and barrier islands. The airport's 6,406-foot primary runway handles most light and midsize business jets.
For charter passengers headed to Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, Base Operations at Page Field combines award-winning service, competitive pricing, and a terminal with genuine character. The WWII-themed lobby alone makes it one of the most memorable FBO arrivals in the country.
