The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is the new international airport located north of Panama City Beach, Florida near West Bay. The new airport is a relocation of the existing Panama City-Bay County International Airport located in Panama City, Florida and opened on May 23, 2010 for commercial flights. It is the first international airport designed and constructed since the September 11 attacks. The airport was originally to have been called Northwest Florida-Panama City International Airport, but its name was changed because the airport authority was asked to change it to a more regional name by airlines that are considering using the new airport. |
