Welcome to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP), the first international airport to be built in the U.S. in more than a decade. Our new airport, opened on May 23, 2010, is located in West Bay, near Panama City and Panama City Beach, and serves as a gateway to Northwest Florida and its beautiful world-famous beaches.

Beaches International proudly serves Southwest Airlines and Delta Airlines, which together provide daily flights to key U.S. destinations, including cities serving as international gateways.

Built to strict environmental standards, Beaches International is perhaps the “greenest” airport in the nation. The airport project included nearly 40,000 acres of pristine coastline along the ecologically diverse St. Andrews Bay placed into permanent conservation.

Beaches International, which also includes several thousand acres of land for commercial and industrial users, is truly a catalyst for economic development in the region.
