Naples Airport operators earn praise for compliance with noise reduction initiatives

The Naples Airport Authority released the names of 41 operators that topped its Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard during the second quarter of 2026.

The quarterly leaderboard recognizes top operators that comply with Naples Airport’s initiatives designed to mitigate noise and improve the quality of life for those living and working near the airfield. Naples Airport evaluates operators on a series of metrics, including compliance with voluntary curfew hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and adherence to the FAA-approved glide path and jet noise stage.

“Over the years, Naples Airport has implemented a multitude of noise abatement measures to help reduce noise levels and be a considerate neighbor to those living near the airport,” said Naples Airport Authority Executive Director Chris Rozansky. “The success of our voluntary noise abatement program depends on the commitment of the operators who fly into and out of Naples Airport. These 41 operators are demonstrating an exceptional commitment to flying safely, flying quietly and being good neighbors.”

During the second quarter of 2026, operators had a 98% compliance rate with Naples Airport’s voluntary nighttime curfew. In the second quarter, the community continued to benefit from Naples Airport’s newest noise reduction initiative. In October 2025, the FAA approved new flight procedures to enhance safety, increase efficiency and reduce noise.

Beginning Oct. 2, pilots and operators began using a new 3.5-degree approach glide slope, replacing the previous 3.0-degree glide slope. The steeper descent allows aircraft to remain at higher altitudes over neighborhoods near Naples Airport. Additionally, airplanes in holding patterns started flying at higher altitudes (3,000 feet vs. 2,100 feet) and over less populated areas, including the Gulf and the Everglades.
