Pisa International Airport guide

Pisa International Airport, named after the astronomer Galileo Galilei, is the main gateway to Tuscany and the larger of the region's two commercial airports. It handled 5,547,008 passengers in 2024, an increase of 8.6% on 2023, and ranks among the ten busiest airports in Italy. The site is shared with the Italian Air Force, and the 46th Air Brigade flies C-130J and C-27J transport aircraft from the same runways.

Toscana Aeroporti manages the civil side of the airport, which has two parallel asphalt runways of about 2,800 and 3,000 metres. Ryanair is the largest carrier and runs a base here, with easyJet, British Airways, Wizz Air and Norwegian also flying many European routes. Most traffic is short-haul and leisure, and the airport sees heavy demand from visitors to Pisa, Florence and the Tuscan coast.

The airport lies just south of Pisa's historic centre. The PisaMover automated shuttle runs to Pisa Centrale railway station in about five minutes, where trains continue to Florence, Lucca and Livorno. Taxis and local buses also serve the terminal.
