Dirt Runway - Oct.2011

Myself and a friend landed here in two Flight Design CTSWs and we both got nose-wheel punctures from thorns, most likely as we taxied off the western end of the dirt runway - it has to be said that the nose tyres on these planes have little tread even when new and that our main-wheels and the wheels on other heavier aircraft did not seem to be affected.

glider

in this airport there is also a glider club and a glider school. It is a very good place because the airport is very close to the alps and in front of the Susa valley

AVGAS 100 LL

No 100 LL served anymore. Surprising decision to exclude all pistons engines. No Notam mentioned it on international basis, just internal Italian information. Now in Sardinia, only Cagliari is serving 100 LL at crazy price of 3,02 Euros/liters ! !!!!!

re: When does it open

According the the Italian Wikipedia article, the airport has been open since the 1920s, and expanded its runway in April 2009 to handle jets like the B737 and A320. Current scheduled service is to Verona only.

re: When does it open

Airports don't fly anywhere. They just sit there and let the planes come to them.

Operations at Pontecagnano

According to the Italian Wikipedia article, Pontecagnano is a joint military-civilian airport with scheduled airline service to Milan Malpensa (MXP), Catania (CTA), Verona (VRN), Barcelona (BCN), Bucharest (BBU), and Munich (MUC). It also hosts a fair bit of bizjet traffic, as well as the long-established Aeroclub di Salerno, which includes a flying school:

Treviso-Venice Airport

Finally one quiet, dissent and possitive airport in Europe. Espresso is just amazing. Staff busy but smiling. Weather always sunny even when is raining. Thank you Treviso we will come again, indeed.

Take the train to/from the airport and Rome

Commuter trains run right into the middle (literally) of Fiumicino. You can take an express train that goes to the main train station, Termini - actually, they've renamed it Giovanni Paulo II station, I think. Or, for quite a bit less money, you can take a commuter train. The downside to that is that it makes a couple of stops on the way so it takes longer and it doesn't go to Termini. But if you are going to Trastevere, for example, it's fine.
