Genoa Airport is located on the outskirts of the port city of Genoa in north-west Italy. The international airport is named after Christopher Columbus. The main air gateway of Liguria is rather compact in scale.
The airport is mainly used by UK airlines Ryanair and British Airways, as well as several other European low-cost airlines (including seasonal charter flights). In addition, the airport serves domestic air traffic.
In recent years, the airport's facilities have undergone modernisation. In 2014, the airport handled over one million passengers. The airport's runway extends into the sea, so tourists can admire the scenic coastline of Genoa as they land.
There are flights to Rome, Bari, Naples and Catania operated by Italian airlines, so visitors can combine leisure and sightseeing trips to other Italian cities.
A map of Genoa Airport will tell you where to find shops, bars, restrooms and the tourist office.
