The Page Story

The Lee County Port Authority remains dedicated to maintaining Page Field as Southwest Florida's premier general aviation airport.

1923

Land Purchase

The City of Fort Myers purchased land intending to build a golf course, but eventually decided to establish an airport at the site. A dirt runway was constructed.

1926

Airmail

The airport began operating as an airmail route between Tampa and Miami on April 1. However, service interruptions due to the rainy season’s effects on the dirt runway were frequently experienced.

1937

Passenger Service Begins

Scheduled passenger air service was introduced in Fort Myers by National Airlines, but paved runways were necessary to continue operations. The city did not have the money to complete the project.
