Marina di Campo Airport guide

Marina di Campo Airport, also called Elba Island Airport and Teseo Tesei Airport, is the only airport on the island of Elba. It sits in the village of La Pila, a few hundred metres from the beach, on the southwest side of the island. The ICAO code is LIRJ.

The airport opened in 1963 as a grass airstrip, and a paved runway followed in 1991. The single runway, 16/34, is 949 metres long. It is too short for aircraft above about 19 seats, so traffic is limited to small commuter and charter aircraft. A new terminal building opened in 2013, and the old building now houses a cafe, shops and offices. Alatoscana, in which the Tuscany Region holds a majority stake, has proposed lengthening the runway to take ATR-72 aircraft.

Service is small and seasonal. Recent routes link Elba with Pisa and Florence, with seasonal charter flights to Swiss destinations such as Sion, Bern and Zurich. Annual traffic has been around 10,000 passengers in recent years.
