Comments for Italy

Oristano - Fenosu Apt has a new NDB as of Mar 2010: ORF 362 kHz

Closer than Fiumicino airport to the downtown, can fly low cost around Europe and Italy.

Myself and a friend landed here in two Flight Design CTSWs and we both got nose-wheel punctures from thorns, most likely as we taxied off the western end of the dirt runway - it has to be said that the nose tyres on these planes have little tread even when new and that our main-wheels and the wheels on other heavier aircraft did not seem to be affected.

in this airport there is also a glider club and a glider school. It is a very good place because the airport is very close to the alps and in front of the Susa valley

ONLY MILITARY TRAFFIC ALLOWED, IT.A.F. AIR BASE.

Those were the days! Now, at 64, unfortunately I am a pedestrian!

I was there in a beautiful day of September 2010 with an ultralight.

Quiet place, friendly people.

Ideal airport for light aircraft training. Long runway little traffic.

Good Airport near to the sea

No 100 LL served anymore. Surprising decision to exclude all pistons engines. No Notam mentioned it on international basis, just internal Italian information. Now in Sardinia, only Cagliari is serving 100 LL at crazy price of 3,02 Euros/liters ! !!!!!

Ryanair expressed an interst in flying from Salerno.

This photo is a long way from when I first saw it in 1943 when it was being used by P38's of the First Fighter Group, flying escort for 15th Air Force 24's and 17's flying missions out of Brendisi and North Africa. It was prior to fields later located in the Fogia area.

Have any low cost carriers expressed an interst in flying to England?

According the the Italian Wikipedia article, the airport has been open since the 1920s, and expanded its runway in April 2009 to handle jets like the B737 and A320. Current scheduled service is to Verona only.

Airports don't fly anywhere. They just sit there and let the planes come to them.

I am given to understand it opened in mid 2008 and closed soon after is this still the case?

Is the airport open and where does it fly to?

According to the Italian Wikipedia article, Pontecagnano is a joint military-civilian airport with scheduled airline service to Milan Malpensa (MXP), Catania (CTA), Verona (VRN), Barcelona (BCN), Bucharest (BBU), and Munich (MUC). It also hosts a fair bit of bizjet traffic, as well as the long-established Aeroclub di Salerno, which includes a flying school:

hello

Finally one quiet, dissent and possitive airport in Europe. Espresso is just amazing. Staff busy but smiling. Weather always sunny even when is raining. Thank you Treviso we will come again, indeed.

Commuter trains run right into the middle (literally) of Fiumicino. You can take an express train that goes to the main train station, Termini - actually, they've renamed it Giovanni Paulo II station, I think. Or, for quite a bit less money, you can take a commuter train. The downside to that is that it makes a couple of stops on the way so it takes longer and it doesn't go to Termini. But if you are going to Trastevere, for example, it's fine.
