๐ข Terminal Information
Marina di Campo Airport (LIRJ), also known as Teseo Tesei Airport, serves Elba Island from the village of La Pila in Marina di Campo, operating as Italy's primary island gateway with a single asphalt runway 16/34 measuring 949 ร 30 meters at just 8 meters elevation, managed by Alatoscana S.p.A. to handle the island's significant seasonal tourism influx. The small but functional terminal building features essential passenger amenities including a bar, car rental desks, ground transportation connections, and bus services to Marina di Campo and other island destinations, with nearby walking-distance access to markets, cafeterias, restaurants, and hotels supporting the tourism infrastructure.
Operational patterns reflect Elba's tourism seasonality, with 70-80% of annual movements concentrated between June and September, handling commercial and tourist traffic with aircraft up to 50 seats during summer months (April-October) and smaller commercial aircraft up to 16 seats during winter operations. The airport provides scheduled domestic connections to mainland Italy including Pisa, Florence, and Milan Linate, plus seasonal international services to Germany (Friedrichshafen, Mannheim) and Switzerland (Berne, Altenrhein), with average flight times of 50 minutes from Italy and 90 minutes from German/Swiss destinations.
As Elba's sole airport serving Napoleon's historic exile island, the facility represents a crucial transportation link connecting this Tuscan archipelago destination to mainland Europe, particularly during peak summer months when the island's population swells with international tourists seeking Mediterranean beaches, historic sites, and outdoor recreation. The airport's strategic role in supporting Elba's tourism economy demonstrates the importance of regional aviation in maintaining connectivity for Italy's numerous island communities throughout the Mediterranean basin.

๐ข Terminal Information
Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport (ALL) in Italy functions as a small, regional airport, primarily serving general aviation, business aviation, and limited charter operations for the Ligurian coast region, including Villanova d'Albenga. Crucially, the airport *does not host scheduled commercial airlines* for regular passenger service, meaning its air traffic operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely rudimentary, typically consisting of an FBO (Fixed-Base Operator) building that houses basic amenities, administrative offices, and a small waiting area. The layout is minimalist, offering direct access from the parking area to the tarmac and aircraft. There are no complex inter-terminal configurations or extensive ground facilities; all operations are centered around this singular FBO building. Walking times are negligible, usually just a few steps from the FBO to the aircraft, reflecting its role as a general aviation hub.\n\nSecurity procedures at ALL are minimal, consistent with its general aviation status. Formal security checkpoints for commercial-style passenger screening are not present. Security protocols focus on maintaining a secure operational environment for aircraft and property, often involving perimeter fencing and access control. Individuals accessing the airpark typically coordinate directly with the FBO. There are no significant wait times for any checks. As a domestic private airfield within the Schengen Area, basic customs and immigration procedures might be handled for specific international general aviation flights, but not for regular public commercial traffic. Passengers should expect a relaxed and informal environment, typical of a private general aviation airport.\n\nAmenities at Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport are very limited, catering to the needs of pilots and aircraft owners rather than commercial passengers. There are no airline lounges. Any available refreshments would likely be from a small FBO counter or vending machines. Retail facilities are specialized, focusing on aviation supplies rather than general consumer goods. Passengers are advised to make any necessary purchases or arrangements for food and drink prior to arrival. Accessibility features are basic, relying primarily on ground-level access. Specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility would need to be coordinated in advance with the FBO. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are not provided. The airport's primary utility is to support flight operations for general aviation and its local community, with passenger comforts being secondary.
