Southwest Florida International Airport

Southwest Florida International Airport One of Top 10 US Airports Based on Poll

Southwest Florida International Airport was able to secure the singular honor of becoming one of the ten best airports in the country in 2006, according to the JD Power and Associates in its 2006 Global Airport Satisfaction Study. This airport, which presently serves the Southwest Florida market (especially Greater Fort Myers), is also considered one of the 50 busiest airports in the USA as well.

Southwest Florida International Airport was formerly known as Southwest Florida Regional Airport before it was officially renamed in 1993. However, even before it was dubbed an international airport, Southwest Florida International Airport was already responsible for international flights to Europe, most notably Germany.

When Southwest Florida Regional Airport was ready to open in 1983, construction operations were temporarily delayed by the presence of a sinkhole where the runway was being built. However, despite this circumstance, Southwest Florida Regional Airport did manage to be opened for regular service. And, of course, 10 years later the airport became Southwest Florida International Airport - the name by which we know it today. Capacity of the airport Southwest Florida International Airport does not usually accommodate very large-bodied aircraft surpassing the size of the Airbus 330-300s series used by LTU International Airways for routes to Munich and Dusseldorf. But on occasion, the airport has been able to let Air Force One (the US President's private plane) and Boeing 747s employ airport facilities as well. This ability to host unusually large aircraft stems from the capacity of its 12,000-ft runway after it was upgraded. It was redesigned to meet demands of future internationally-destined aircraft such as the Concorde. A second runway is presently being built and is expected to be completed by 2010.

The airport unveiled its new Midfield Terminal Complex which hosts 28 gates total back in 2005. That facility, along with the planned second runway, should help the airport serve up to 10 million passengers per year. But even with such huge numbers as expected existing capacity, there are also talks now of another round of expansion projects to be initiated because passenger traffic is expected to go up significantly within the next two decades. The Midfield Terminal Complex alone can probably expand by two additional concourses and 37 new gates, though it is not certain yet whether the airport will take steps to add those new structures to the terminal. Future expansion projects will probably be determined by how high future passenger traffic becomes.

The old terminal was eliminated back in 2006 so that a commercial and industrial park can eventually be built on that site. The new complex will offer services to the airport community, such as gasoline retailers and hotels. Parking at the airport Southwest Florida International Airport currently offers hourly and daily parking options to travelers and their party, with 11,250 parking slots available for use. There is also a cell-phone lot with limited slots of just 30 to assist people who need to pick up passengers from the airport.
