The city of Turin has its own “city airport” located 16 kilometres away from the city centre, in a flat area with infrequent fog.
With a 3,300 m long runway and Category 3B flight equipment, Turin is suitable for any type of aircraft.
The passenger terminal is comprised of a structure covering 43,000 sq m, divided over several floors, with full access for the disabled and equipped with a multi-storey car park which is fully integrated with the airport complex, located only 35 metres away.
Turin has one of the most modern and functional airports in Europe. Easily accessible and not overcrowded, it can handle traffic of over 3 million passengers each year, guaranteeing extremely high standards of comfort and safety.
The airport is well integrated within a close network of road links, allowing you to reach the city centre in just 15-20 minutes by car.
