Leaderboard overview

The Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard is a quarterly recognition program by the Naples Airport Authority that acknowledges aircraft operators.

Operators are evaluated based on their adherence to voluntary quiet hours, use of FAA-approved approach glide paths, and aircraft noise standards.

The program aims to minimize noise impacts on surrounding communities and enhance safety, benefiting both passengers and flight crews.

“Earning the top position for a second consecutive quarter reflects the care, discipline, and professionalism our flight teams bring to every operation,” said Chris Bull, CEO of Northern Jet, in a press release.

Bull continued:

‘Naples is an important part of Northern Jet, and we take our role as an aviation partner and community neighbor seriously. This recognition belongs to the pilots, operations teams and support staff who make thoughtful decision-making part of every flight.’
