Turin Airport

Turin Airport, officially Aeroporto di Torino-Caselle Sandro Pertini, is the principal commercial airport for Piedmont and the largest in northwestern Italy outside Milan's Malpensa and Linate, serving the Turin metropolitan area's roughly 1.7M residents and drawing catchment from the industrial Piemonte region, the Aosta Valley, and western Liguria. Located 10 mi (16 km) north of Turin city center at 989 ft (301 m) elevation in the town of Caselle Torinese, TRN handles 91 routes across 66 destinations through 35 airlines. The airport is named for former Italian President Sandro Pertini (1978–1985), a partisan leader during World War II. TRN has no base carrier in the modern hub sense — Alitalia's historical Turin operation ended following the carrier's 2008 restructuring and subsequent 2021 collapse into ITA Airways — and the network is dominated by LCC operations. Ryanair holds the largest share of departures, with Wizz Air, easyJet, Volotea, Transavia, and Vueling running substantial service alongside ITA Airways (Rome–Fiumicino trunk), Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Iberia, Air Serbia, Aeroflot (when bilaterals permit), Pegasus, Turkish Airlines, and Blue Panorama. The route network emphasizes Italian domestic connectivity (Rome, Naples, Catania, Palermo, Bari, Lamezia, Cagliari, Olbia), major European hubs (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Barcelona, Istanbul), and the classic winter ski-season surge supporting the Alpine resorts of Sestriere, Bardonecchia, Cervinia, and Courmayeur. TRN served as the official airport of the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, a role that drove substantial infrastructure upgrades. The airfield operates a single asphalt runway — 18/36 at 10,827 ft (3,300 m) — capable of full widebody operations and used for occasional transatlantic charter and inter-continental ferry flights. The passenger terminal underwent major expansion in 2005–2006 ahead of the Winter Olympics with an enlarged central pier and additional boarding gates, and the historic original 1953 terminal has been preserved as an architectural landmark. Turin is the historic headquarters of Fiat (now Stellantis) and a major Italian aerospace center, with Leonardo, Avio Aero, Thales Alenia Space, and Piaggio Aerospace all operating significant Piedmont facilities — giving the airport substantial supporting general and business aviation traffic.
