Panama City Beach, United States

Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) is a modern commercial airport serving the Panama City Beach and Panama City area on Florida's Emerald Coast. It opened in 2010 as a replacement for the older Panama City–Bay County International Airport (PFN), offering a purpose-built facility designed to handle growing leisure and tourism traffic to the Gulf Coast region. The airport is owned and operated by the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District.
