Venice Municipal Airport (VNC)

Venice Municipal Airport serves as a premier general aviation facility on Florida's Gulf Coast, featuring two intersecting 5,000-foot runways with full lighting systems including MIRL, REILS, and PAPIs. The airport accommodates approximately 200 based aircraft generating over 90,000 annual operations, making advance coordination essential during peak periods. Both runways feature excellent approach capabilities with Runway 5/23 constructed of asphalt and Runway 13/31 of concrete, with the latter measuring 5,640 x 150 feet. Tampa Approach Control manages the airspace on frequencies 119.65 and 124.95 MHz, while UNICOM operates on 122.725 MHz for pilot coordination. Noise abatement procedures are strictly enforced - contact the airport manager at (941) 486-2711 for specific requirements. Wildlife hazards including birds are common in this coastal environment, requiring heightened awareness during takeoff and landing phases. Runway 23 serves as the designated calm wind runway for optimal safety margins. The airport maintains 24-hour operations with extensive flight training activities throughout the day. Parasailing operations occur west of the airport along the beach area, creating additional traffic awareness requirements. Prior permission is required for aircraft exceeding runway weight-bearing capacity. Ground transportation options include ride-sharing services coordinated outside the main gate, though advance booking is highly recommended during peak tourist seasons.
