Private Jet Charter from RSW

Fly private from Southwest Florida International Airport

Southwest Florida International Airport is the region's full-service gateway, serving Fort Myers and, during peak season, overflow charter demand from nearby Naples. Signature Flight Support operates the airport's FBO with dedicated private terminal facilities.

Élan Aviation arranges aircraft, crew, and ground handling for RSW charters, drawing on the airport's 12,000-foot runway and on-site CBP facility to support the full range of aircraft from light jets to heavy jets.

When larger aircraft, customs clearance, or additional ramp space are needed beyond what Naples Municipal can accommodate, RSW is the preferred alternative, particularly during the busy winter season. Élan Aviation recommends booking with normal lead time outside of peak snowbird months.
