- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Ticino's own airport, minutes from Lugano's banking district and 45 minutes from Como and Lake Maggiore. The steep instrument approach and short runway need crew training and limit the fleet to steep-approach-capable types; weather diversions go to Milan Malpensa. Customs on site; low traffic and quick turnarounds.
