Naples Airport Authority approved its 2026-27 operating and capital budget as the airport prepares for the anticipated return of commercial airline service. The budget projects $49.2 million in operating revenue and $43.9 million in expenses, along with $37.9 million in capital spending. About $6.2 million of the capital budget will come from federal and state agencies for projects including airfield lighting rehabilitation and electrical infrastructure. The operating budget anticipates $1.11 million in airline revenue as Naples Airport negotiates an agreement with American Airlines, which intends to begin service Dec. 2. The authority, which carries no debt and receives no local tax support, also approved its 2026-30 strategic plan.
