Northern Jet earned the top position in the Jet, Greater Than one per cent of Operations category for both the first and second quarters of 2026. This marks the second consecutive quarter of recognition.
Northern Jet has earned first place on Naples airport's Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard for the second consecutive quarter, recognising the US charter operator's commitment to safe, considerate and noise-conscious flight operations.
Northern Jet earned the top position in the Jet, Greater Than one per cent of Operations category for both the first and second quarters of 2026. This marks the second consecutive quarter the company has been recognised for its leadership in noise-conscious operations at Florida's Naples hub.
The Naples Airport Authority created the quarterly Fly Safe Fly Quiet Leaderboard to recognise aircraft operators that support the airport's noise-abatement initiatives and help preserve the quality of life within the surrounding community. Operators are evaluated on measures that include adherence to Naples Airport's voluntary quiet hours from 22:00 to 07:00, use of the FAA-approved approach glide path and aircraft noise-stage standards.
“Earning the top position for a second consecutive quarter reflects the care, discipline and professionalism our flight teams bring to every operation,” comments Chris Bull, CEO of Northern Jet. “Naples is an important part of Northern Jet, and we take our role as an aviation partner and community neighbour seriously. This recognition belongs to the pilots, operations teams and support staff who make thoughtful decision-making part of every flight.”
Naples Airport reported a 98 per cent compliance rate by operators with its voluntary nighttime curfew during the second quarter of 2026. The airport has also continued using flight procedures introduced in October 2025, including a 3.5-degree approach glide slope that allows aircraft to remain at higher altitudes over nearby neighbourhoods. Holding patterns were also moved to higher altitudes and directed over areas with fewer residents, including the Gulf and the Everglades.
Northern Jet's two consecutive no. 1 rankings reflect the company's continued focus on responsible operations, aviation safety and meaningful participation in the communities it serves. With a dedicated base at Naples Airport, Northern Jet provides Naples-area travellers with access to a broad fleet and private aviation programmes centred on personal service, flexibility and operational excellence.
“This recognition reflects how we strive to operate every day,” Bull adds. “Our responsibility extends beyond the aircraft and the passenger experience. It also includes respect for the communities where we live, work and fly.”
Northern Jet remains committed to supporting Naples airport's Fly Safe Fly Quiet goals while delivering a private aviation experience centred on safety, service and care.
The firm is an ARGUS Platinum charter operator in business for over 31 years, providing jet and helicopter charter, jet card memberships, fractional ownership and turnkey aircraft management. Headquartered in Orlando, with bases throughout Florida and the Midwest, Northern Jet is committed to ‘making time matter for leaders who do the same’.
