Naples Municipal Airport (APF) is a small general aviation and commercial service airport serving Naples, Florida, and the broader Collier County region. Established in the 1940s and originally used for military training, it has evolved into a key hub for private jets and charter flights catering to the affluent Southwest Florida community. Its intimate scale and proximity to downtown Naples make it a convenient alternative to the busier Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.

The airport itself offers very limited food and beverage options given its small size, so travelers are advised to eat before arrival or upon reaching their destination. Downtown Naples, just minutes away, features an exceptional dining scene ranging from casual waterfront seafood spots to upscale restaurants along 5th Avenue South. The nearby US-41 corridor also offers a wide variety of chain and independent dining options.
- APF primarily serves private, charter, and fractional aircraft — confirm your carrier operates here before booking.
- Downtown Naples and the beaches are only about 10–15 minutes away, making ground transport quick and easy.
- Peak season runs November through April; expect higher traffic, hotel rates, and rideshare wait times.
