 | | Groundbreaking was held in 1980, and Southwest Florida Regional Airport opened on schedule, May 13, 1983, despite a sinkhole that cropped up in the middle of the runway during construction. |
 | | However, while the airport has hosted Boeing 747s (and notably, the U.S. President's Air Force One), as of 2006, the largest aircraft to use the airport for regularly scheduled service are the Airbus A330-300s operated by LTU International Airways on non-stop flights to Dusseldorf and Munich. |
 | | In 1988, the airport exceeded its annual capacity of 3 million passengers; by 2004, the airport was serving nearly 7 million passengers annually. |
