Airport history
MRK was completed in 1976, having been planned to complement a resort area south of Naples (now known as Marco Island). Initially, the airport was used primarily by real estate developers as a marketing tool, whereby prospective buyers were flown in from Miami. Later, the developers turned the airport over to the State of Florida, which leased the airport to Collier County in the 1980s. The airport was maintained by the county, which in 1993 formed the Collier County Airport Authority, whose role was to develop and manage the airport.
Airport location
The airport is located four miles northeast of the central business district of Marco Island.
