Florence Peretola Airport LIRQ / FLR
The closest airport to central Florence, 15 minutes from the Duomo, but its short single runway and mountain-ringed approach restrict aircraft size and are prone to wind and fog diversions. Heavy jets go to Pisa. Very busy in June (Pitti Uomo) and during the summer season; slots are coordinated.
