[LILQ] "Dirt Runway - Oct.2011" by Anonymous Flier

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Massa Cinquale Airport, 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.

Comment by @mauro_galliano on Torino / Aeritalia Airport, Italy:

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

[LIEO] "AVGAS 100 LL" by Anonymous Flier

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport, Italy:

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 ! !!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Italy:

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.
