RGN President Branimir Brankov said the group wants to work with the city — not against it — to preserve jobs, support the local economy, and also address resident concerns.

Sean Nash, a pilot and business aviation consultant, said there are already ideas on the table, including improving flight paths and continuing to comply with the airport’s recommended quiet hours, which he says already has over 90% compliance.

"Aircraft are getting more efficient and quieter every day with technological advancements," Nash said. "So, there's solutions to be had that we want to collaborate with, and as aviation professionals, we can lend our expertise in that way."

So far, the Responsible Government Naples petition has gained nearly 200 signatures. The group's goal is to present it to the city council and help steer the conversation toward positive solutions for the airport and residents.
