==Overview==
==History==
During the end of [[World War II]] the airport was used as a base for the [[15th Expeditionary Mobility Task Force|15th Air Force]] of the [[United States Army Air Forces]].
The airport had its own [[Pisa Aeroporto railway station|railway station]] with a service to and from Pisa Central railway station but this was closed on 15 December 2013 to allow construction work to begin on a new fully automatic connection to be known as the Pisa Mover to take passengers to Pisa Central – at the moment a direct bus makes the connection.

The terminal building has 16 gates (numbered 01–11 and 21–25), one of which (Gate 23) is equipped with a [[jetbridge]]; however, this is almost never used. Gates 1–11 are on the ground floor and are for Schengen flights. Shuttle buses are used to take passengers to the plane. Gates 21–25 are non-Schengen and are on level one. Walk-boarding, bus-boarding and boarding by jetway are used here.

Pisa International Airport (IATA: PSA, ICAO: LIRP)[3] — also named Galileo Galilei Airport[4] — is an airport located in Pisa, Italy. It is one of the two major airports in Tuscany, the other being Florence Airport. Pisa is ranked 10th in Italy in terms of passenger numbers.[5] It is named after Galileo Galilei, the scientist and native of Pisa. The airport was first developed for the military in the 1930s and 1940s. The airport was used by 5,233,118 passengers in 2017. It serves as a focus city of Ryanair.[6]

History

[edit]

During the end of World War II the airport was used as a base for the 15th Air Force of the United States Army Air Forces.

Delta Air Lines commenced direct flights to New York in June 2007.[7] The route ended in 2016.[8]

Facilities

[edit]
Aerial view

The airport is at an elevation of 6 feet (2 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt-paved runways: 04R/22L measuring 3,002 by 45 metres (9,849 ft × 148 ft) and 04L/22R measuring 2,793 by 43 metres (9,163 ft × 141 ft).[9]

The terminal building has 16 gates (numbered 01–11 and 21–25), one of which (Gate 23) is equipped with a jetbridge; however, this is almost never used. Gates 1–11 are on the ground floor and are for Schengen flights. Shuttle buses are used to take passengers to the plane. Gates 21–25 are non-Schengen and are on level one. Walk-boarding, bus-boarding and boarding by jetway are used here.

Besides civilian operations, the airport is also used extensively by the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) and is a base for, amongst others, the C-130 Hercules and C-27J Spartan transport aircraft.[10] The airport is home to 46ª Brigata Aerea Silvio Angelucci (46th Air Brigade).
