Trieste Airport
Trieste Airport, with IATA code TRS and ICAO code LIPQ, also known as Aeroporto di Trieste in Italian, is situated just 0.3 nautical miles (0.56 km; 0.35 mi) to the west of Ronchi dei Legionari in the Province of Gorizia, near Trieste in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. Serving as an international airport, it caters to a catchment area of approximately 4 million people, extending beyond Friuli-Venezia Giulia into neighboring Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia.
The history of the airport dates back to November 30, 1935, when it was recognized as the airfield for the 4th Fighter Wing of the Royal Italian Air Force. Commercial operations commenced officially on December 2, 1961. In 2007, the airport was dedicated to Pietro Savorgnan di Brazzà, a notable 19th-century explorer with ties to Friuli. Subsequently, in 2016, it was officially rebranded as Trieste Airport. Over recent years, there has been notable growth in both low-cost and cargo traffic at the airport.
Owned and operated by Aeroporto Friuli Venezia Giulia SpA, a company jointly owned by F2i and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia government, the airport boasts connectivity to national railway and highway networks through the Intermodal Transit Hub, which was completed in March 2018, facilitating seamless air-road-rail interchange.
Rail access to the airport is provided via the Trieste Airport railway station, which connects directly to the Venice–Trieste railway via a 425-meter long raised walkway.
For road transportation, a bus terminal with 16 platforms, along with a multi-storey car park offering 500 parking spaces and a grade level car park with 1000 spaces, ensures swift access to and from the A4 Trieste-Turin highway for both public and private vehicles. Moreover, the southern direction of this highway provides connections to Slovenia's A1 Motorway via crossings at Fernetti and Rabuiese, further linking the airport to highway networks in Croatia, Hungary, and the Balkans. Additionally, at the interchange near Palmanova, the A4 branches off to Autostrada A23, connecting to Austria's Süd Autobahn A2 via Udine and Tarvisio.
