TESLA TRANSPORT WITH ELITE JETS Elite Jets Charters has added a new Tesla to its fleet. The Naples-based charter company now offers doorto-door chauffeur services in its Tesla Model X, a luxury electric SUV. Elite Jets employees can pick up passengers at any Collier County residence and drive them directly to the company’s private terminal at Naples Airport, or even straight onto the tarmac to board their jet. For customers opting to drive themselves, Elite Jets offers auto detailing services so vehicles are clean, inside and out, upon passengers’ return. Additional white diamond concierge services include pre-selecting onboard amenities like in-flight entertainment, meals, snacks and drinks. “Passengers who fly privately expect a first-class, VIP experience, from leather seats and high-speed WiFi to personalized services

The Naples Airport Authority and the City of Naples Fire-Rescue Department celebrated the grand opening of the new Naples Airport Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Station/City of Naples Fire Station #3 with a hose uncoupling. The new ARFF is a state-of-the-art facility that replaces the airport’s original fire station that was built in 1989. The $5.8 million facility, jointly funded by the Naples Airport Authority and FDOT, was built to the highest standards and specifications of the fire service with special attention paid to airfield response requirements. While the primary focus of the station is fire and emergency response within the airport, the new location also provides improved access to the surrounding community that will decrease response times and continue to improve safety within the City of Naples. The facility was
