Foggia Gino Lisa Airport guide

Foggia Gino Lisa Airport (ICAO LIBF) sits about 3 km from the centre of Foggia, in the Capitanata plain of northern Puglia. It stands at 81 m above sea level and has a single asphalt runway. The airport is one of four in the Aeroporti di Puglia network, alongside Bari, Brindisi and Taranto-Grottaglie.

The field dates to 1915, when it served as a pilot training ground, and Allied forces used it heavily during the 1943 Italian campaign. Scheduled civil flights began in 1971 with an Alitalia group service to Rome Fiumicino and stopped in 1975. Works to lengthen the runway by roughly 570 m began in December 2019, and the airport reopened in July 2021. Scheduled passenger flights resumed in September 2022 with a Milan Malpensa service.

Traffic is small. The airport handled 62,149 passengers in 2024, up 28.1% on 2023. Aeroitalia flies domestic routes to Milan and Turin, and Alidaunia runs helicopter services to the Tremiti Islands, Peschici and Vieste.
