Northern Jets, NetJets, and PlaneSense among the top operators recognized by Naples Airport for safety and noise mitigation.
The Naples Airport released the Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard for Q2 2026.
The leaderboard recognizes operators who follow guidelines to be good neighbors and minimize noise impact on the community.
These guidelines and metrics include 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.
In Q2, the Naples Airport Authority recognized 18 operators for their performance excellence. These aircraft operators include jets, piston engines, and turboprops.
The top three performing jet operators, in descending order, were Northern Jet Management, Phenom 300 LLC, and NetJets Aviation.
For piston engines, Career Flight Training and Aircraft Rental, and Paris Air received commendations.
The top three turboprop operators were Tango Tango, PlaneSense, and Iron Eagle Aviation.
Additional operators that were recognized included Executive Jet Management, Jet Linx, Canada’s AirSprint, Inc., Private Jet Charter, Fly Alliance Charter, LLC, Wheels Up Partners, WH Air, LLC, and Elite Jets Charter, LLC.
With a collective 98% compliance rate, Naples Airport operators showed commitment to being good neighbors and minimizing noise impacts on surrounding communities.
“This is the most operators we have recognized for their compliance since we debuted the quarterly Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard two years ago,” said Chris Rozansky, Naples Airport Authority Executive Director.
Rozansky continued:
‘Achieving 100% compliance is extremely challenging due to factors such as weather delays, mechanical issues and required nighttime flight training. A 98% compliance rate reflects an outstanding commitment by our operators to being good neighbors and minimizing noise impacts on our community.’
To rank highly on the leaderboard, operators must use specific glide paths and produce low-noise output.
Both are the main goals of the airport’s Fly Safe Fly Quiet program.
