APF

Naples Airport

The airport for Naples, nearly every time. It wins on drive time to everywhere clients stay, it has customs on the field, and its main runway of about 6,600 feet handles light through super midsize jets every day and many heavy jets too.

  • Old Naples10 min
  • Port Royal15 min
  • Pelican Bay15 min
  • Bonita Springs25 min
  • Marco Island40 min
On the ground

The airport authority runs the general aviation terminal itself: a lounge, a car brought to the aircraft, customs on the field. In season the ramp is full and parking on the holiday weeks is by reservation, so the aircraft may drop you and reposition to Fort Myers for the night. The airport asks jets to avoid arriving or departing between 10 pm and 7 am. It is voluntary, and the operators we work with plan around it.

RSW

Southwest Florida International

Fort Myers. It wins for a heavy jet arriving with full fuel on a hot day, for an arrival after 10 pm, as the weather alternate for APF, and when the Naples ramp is full on a holiday week and the aircraft needs to stay overnight nearby.

  • Old Naples45 min
  • Pelican Bay35 to 40 min
  • Marco Island1 hr
On the ground

One FBO on the field, with customs. It is an airline airport, so expect a longer taxi, a few minutes of sequencing on arrival and departure, and a bigger terminal than you need.

MKY

Marco Island Executive

It wins for a Marco Island stay on a turboprop or light jet. The runway is about 5,000 feet, so it is not a midsize or larger field, and there is no customs.

  • Marco Island15 min
  • Old Naples25 to 35 min
On the ground

A small county run terminal with a lounge and a ramp that rarely feels busy. Cars meet the aircraft. Fuel is available; hangar space is limited.

When to go

The season in Naples.

  • Season runs from November through April.
  • The weeks that fill first are Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year's Day, Presidents Day weekend, the spring break weeks in March and Easter weekend.
  • In those weeks aircraft sell out early, ramp parking at APF is by reservation, and prices sit in the upper half of the range.
  • Southbound is tight in November and December; northbound is tight in April, when the winter residents go home.
  • From May through October the market is quiet: aircraft are easier to find, prices sit lower in the range, and seasonal aircraft positioning can affect the options.

From the cockpit

Good to know in Naples.

How we review the aircraft for your trip →
  1. 01

    Plan a late arrival for RSW. APF's quiet hours start at 10 pm, and the operators we work with honor them, so a flight that will land after 10 goes to Fort Myers and a car.

  2. 02

    On Christmas week the APF ramp is reserved weeks ahead. The aircraft often drops you and repositions to Fort Myers or Punta Gorda for the night, and that positioning is in your quote, not a surprise.

  3. 03

    Presidents Day weekend and Easter run in reverse: everyone leaves on Sunday afternoon. Book the Sunday departure first and the Thursday arrival second.

  4. 04

    Customs at APF keeps set hours. A Bahamas or Caribbean return that lands late clears at RSW instead, and we plan it that way from the start.

  5. 05

    In summer the sea breeze builds storms over the coast by early afternoon. A morning departure is the smoother one.

  6. 06

    For a Marco Island stay on a light jet, MKY saves the drive. For anything larger, land at APF and we have the car waiting.

Fair questions

Naples questions.

Should I fly into Naples or Fort Myers?

Naples, nearly every time. APF is about 10 minutes from Old Naples and has customs on the field. Fort Myers wins for a heavy jet with full fuel on a hot day, for a late night arrival, and when the Naples ramp is full. We tell you which one when we send the options.

How far ahead should I book for the season?

A week or more for a normal trip from November through April, and two to four weeks for Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day, spring break and Easter. Aircraft and ramp parking both sell out in those weeks. From May through October a few days is usually enough.

Can I land at Naples late at night?

The airport asks jets not to arrive or depart between 10 pm and 7 am, and the operators we work with honor that. If the trip has to land late, we plan Fort Myers and a car, and we tell you before you book.

How much does a private jet to Naples cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by aircraft category once you enter the other end of the trip and your dates. Nashville and Atlanta sit at the lower end on a light jet; Chicago, New York and Boston sit higher on a midsize or super midsize jet. In the holiday weeks expect the upper half of the range. Your quote will be exact.
