Bocas De Satinga Airport Guide

Brindisi Airport, also known as Papola Casale Airport and Salento Airport, sits 6 kilometres from Brindisi city centre in the heel of Italy's boot. With 2 runways and a single passenger terminal, it is the primary gateway to the Salento peninsula and southern Puglia. The airport served 3.4 million passengers in 2024.

Ryanair is the dominant carrier, operating more routes than any other airline and accounting for the majority of traffic. ITA Airways, easyJet, Eurowings, Wizz Air, Air Dolomiti, and Lufthansa also serve the airport, connecting Brindisi to major European cities including London, Milan, Rome, and Brussels.

The airport occupies a site with deep historical roots — commercial seaplane services launched from Brindisi in 1926, and the land-based airfield at Campo Casale opened in 1933. Today the airport also hosts a United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot, managed by the World Food Programme since 2000, reflecting Brindisi's longstanding strategic role in Mediterranean logistics.
