Naples Municipal Airport is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Naples, a city in Collier County, Florida, United States. It is owned by the City of Naples Airport Authority.〔 The airport provides space for general aviation, as well as mosquito control and, Med Flight Collier (EMS Helicopters). As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 3,316 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,〔 〕 514 enplanements in 2009, and 581 in 2010.〔 〕 It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a ''non-primary commercial service'' airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year) based on enplanements in 2008,〔 〕 but it is a ''general aviation'' facility based on enplanements in 2009 and 2010. The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's contract control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FAA Contract Tower Closure List )〕 == History == Established in 1942 as Naples Army Airfield by the United States Army Air Forces. Assigned initially to the Southeast Training Center (later Eastern Flying Training Command). Provided basic (level 1) flight training to flight cadets by Embry-Riddle Co; Fairchild PT-19s were the primary trainer used. Along with the flight training, was a sub-base to Buckingham Army Airfield for flexible gunnery training. Inactivated on November 1, 1945, being turned over to the War Assets Administration for conveyance to civil control as a public airport. Provincetown-Boston Airlines began scheduled service to Miami International Airport in the 1950s, and managed the airport for several years until a municipal airport authority was created in 1969. Although the airport served more than 100,000 passengers per year through 2000, geographic factors limited its capacity, and the opening of the much larger Southwest Florida International Airport in nearby Fort Myers drew medium-haul traffic away from Naples. Passenger numbers dipped when American Eagle ceased scheduled Miami service in 2001, and dipped even further following the September 11, 2001 attacks Scheduled airline service to Naples ended in 2003 when US Airways Express ceased service to Tampa International Airport.〔 ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naples Municipal Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
