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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Time in the air in calm conditions, rounded to five minutes. Your quote sets the schedule.
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.
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.
Presidents Day weekend and Easter run in reverse: everyone leaves on Sunday afternoon. Book the Sunday departure first and the Thursday arrival second.
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.
In summer the sea breeze builds storms over the coast by early afternoon. A morning departure is the smoother one.
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.
Add where you are starting, a date and a headcount. Your starting prices arrive by email, and a pilot follows up as soon as the desk can review your request.
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.
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.
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.
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.
