Naples Aviation<\/a>\u00a0at Naples Municipal Airport (KAPF<\/a>) in Florida now offers 94 octane unleaded fuel (UL 94), making it one of three airports in Florida and the 35th airport in the country to offer the 100LL alternative, according to airport officials.<\/p>\n

But in something different, on May 18, 2023, the Naples Airport Authority (NAA) Board of Commissioners unanimously approved incentives to offset the higher cost of UL 94 at the Naples Airport. The subsidies cut the cost of UL 94 nearly in half, making it equal in price to leaded aviation gasoline.<\/p>\n

In addition, the airport will offer eligible aircraft based at Naples a $250 one-time credit to complete the FAA required certification for the unleaded STC.<\/p>\n

According to an airport spokesman, the airport will sell UL 94 to tenants at the cost of traditional avgas \u201cdespite its much higher cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, tenants pay $5.13 per gallon (the same as traditional avgas) compared to the full cost of $9.89, he noted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/center>Between the fuel subsidies and STC credit, the airport\u2019s board of commissioners has approved more than $180,000 in incentives to promote the use of UL 94, airport officials reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the right thing to do for aviation and our community. I commend our staff on proactively implementing a plan to safely offer UL 94 in less than four months from the time the board first raised the question,\u201d said NAA Board Chair Kerry Dustin.<\/p>\n

On June 9, the first aircraft was fueled with UL 94 at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited about the Naples Airport Authority\u2019s commitment to general aviation and the environment by now offering UL94 as a fuel option,\u201d said aircraft owner and Naples resident Linda Sollars. \u201cMy engine actually prefers this from a maintenance point of view. I am exceptionally grateful for the ability to purchase unleaded fuel here in Naples.\u201d<\/p>\n

Traditional aviation gasoline will remain available at the Naples Airport since less than half of the light aircraft based at Naples can safely use UL 94, airport officials noted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center>Airport officials recently completed laboratory testing on the airport and at several nearby downtown residences where no traces of lead or any other aviation fuel contaminates were found. More details on these test results, along with prior similar studies, are available at\u00a0FlyNaples.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the airport authority is committed to taking steps to reduce its environmental impact, including replacing golf carts, aircraft tugs, ground power units, and pickup trucks with zero-emissions electric equipment and vehicles, airport officials said. Several solar projects and an updated stormwater master drainage plan are also in the works, they added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
