Naples Airport Authority has released an updated list of top operators that adhere to the airport’s ongoing initiatives to be a good neighbor and mitigate noise.
Second quarter results of the Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard list top aircraft operators that achieved high ratings on the airport’s scorecard.
Operators are evaluated quarterly on a series of metrics, including compliance with Naples Airport’s voluntary curfew hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Other measurements include adherence to the FAA-approved glide path and jet noise stage. Second quarter honorees include the following operators:
Jets (more than 1% of jet operations):
- NetJets Aviation
- Northern Jet Management
- Exclusive Jets
Jets (less than 1% of jet operations):
- Innovative Aviation
- Citation Management
- Executive Jet Management
Piston Engines:
- Six Kilo Whiskey
- Fat Boy Air Sales & Leasing
- Peregrine Howard Aviation
Turboprops:
- Wheels Up
- Tango Tango
- Le Loop
Five of the 12 honorees were carryovers from the Q1 Leaderboard: NetJets, Exclusive Jets, Innovative Aviation, Executive Jet Management and Le Loop.
“Being featured on consecutive leaderboards means these providers are not just complying with Fly Safe Fly Quiet guidelines by happenstance – it’s intentional,” said Naples Airport Authority Executive Director Chris Rozansky. “Good neighbors follow the rules all the time, so their actions to reduce aircraft noise are commendable and something that all operators should strive to achieve.”
