City Council Clearwater

A Bold New Identity for a Growing Aviation Hub

In a landmark decision that signals a bold step forward for the region’s aviation future, the Clearwater City Council has officially approved the renaming and rebranding of Clearwater Airpark. The facility will now be known as Clearwater Executive Airport, ushering in a new era of growth, innovation, and elevated service for the local community and beyond.

More Than a Name Change: A Strategic Pivot

The name change reflects a broader transformation already underway at the airport. Under new management and direction, Clearwater Executive Airport is being positioned as a premier hub for private aviation on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The rebranding is more than cosmetic — it’s symbolic of the airport’s strategic pivot toward becoming a modern, business-focused destination for executive travelers, aviation professionals, and regional stakeholders.

“This change reflects the future we envision for this airport and our city,” said a City Council representative during the session. “It’s not just about planes taking off and landing — it’s about opening doors to economic opportunity, job creation, and community growth.”

Strategic Location with Premier Access

Located just minutes from downtown Clearwater, the newly named Clearwater Executive Airport offers convenience, proximity to world-renowned beaches, and access to Florida’s booming business corridor. Recent upgrades to airport infrastructure, amenities, and operational standards are already underway, aiming to attract corporate aviation clients, air taxi services, and aviation education programs.

The rebranding initiative also aims to restore and strengthen ties with the local community. Airport leadership is working closely with neighborhood representatives to ensure that changes reflect both civic pride and a shared vision for progress.

FlyUSA and the Future of Clearwater Executive

FlyUSA, the airport’s management company, expressed strong support for the council’s decision and reaffirmed their commitment to making Clearwater Executive Airport a source of pride for residents and a key asset for the city’s future.

With its new identity, Clearwater Executive Airport is charting a course toward becoming not only a gateway to the skies but a symbol of Clearwater’s dynamic evolution.
