Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) serves the Fort Myers metropolitan area and the broader Southwest Florida region, including Naples and Cape Coral. It is one of Florida's busiest airports, handling millions of passengers annually who visit the region's beaches, golf courses, and nature attractions. The airport opened its current facility in 1983 and underwent significant expansions over the decades to accommodate growing passenger demand. A major terminal expansion completed in 2005 added concourses and gates to meet capacity needs. RSW is owned and operated by the Lee County Port Authority. RSW experienced notable disruption in September 2022 when Hurricane Ian caused significant damage to the airport's infrastructure, requiring extensive repairs before full operations resumed. The airport recovered relatively quickly and resumed serving the region's strong tourism market.
