A dozen operators earn praise for compliance with noise reduction initiatives
The Naples Airport Authority released the names of 12 operators that topped its Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard during the fourth quarter of 2025.
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.
Operators recognized for their performance in October, November and December 2025 include the following:
Jets (greater than 1% of flight operations):
- Northern Jet Management
- Exclusive Jets
- JetSelect
Jets (less than 1% of flight operations):
- Alliance Aviation Group
- ATI Jet (Jetvia)
- Executive Airshare Corp.
Piston Engines:
- N738NE
- N4422R
- Space Coast Aircraft Co.
Turboprops:
- Zulu Air
- Tradewind Aviation
- Wheels Up Partners
“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. “We can continue drafting policies and implementing guidelines, but it’s up to our tenants, charter companies and flight schools to comply. These 12 operators are demonstrating their commitment to safety and minimizing noise levels.”
During the fourth quarter, operators had a 98.4% compliance rate with Naples Airport’s voluntary nighttime curfew. The fourth quarter also saw the introduction of Naples Airport’s newest noise reduction initiative after the FAA approved new flight procedures to enhance safety, increase efficiency and reduce noise.
Starting Oct. 2, pilots and operators were advised to descend at a steeper slope (3.5 degrees vs. 3.0 degrees), meaning aircraft would fly at higher altitudes on their approaches above 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.
