General: |
Medium sized city airport serving Genoa and the surrounding area, located on the edge of the docks a few miles from the city centre |
Appearance: |
The airport looks as though it could do with a significant refurbishment with carpets worn and stained. It's also quite small when large numbers of flights are departing at similar times |

On landing we were directed down a long 70's style airport corridor with worn and stained carpets down to two immigration booths, from there it was through into a pretty elderly and not particularly welcoming baggage reclaim hall. From baggage reclaim it was down a dimly lit corridor that was masquerading as the EU Channel for customs and then out into the cramped arrivals hall
Only two boxes to handle our flight, and the Ryanair from Stansted that arrived immediately after leading to some lengthy queues
The baggage hall looks in need of refurbishment and with two belts, but only one with any signage over it
For EU arrivals there was a single dimly lit corridor that lead through to the arrivals hall
There are, supposed to be, regular Volabus services to the city centre. However, on returning they were on strike so a taxi was required. At the time of visiting the Volabus was €6, the taxi was €20

Given the cramped conditions of the airport there is a long queue for the small security screening area, for non-Schengen flights there is then another long queue to pass through passport control to the gate room that has insufficient seating for a full B737/A320
There is one bar/café located airside for all passengers and a further small bar/café located beyond passport control for non-Schengen passengers

A couple of small kiosks landside, one large duty/tax free shop airside
The toilets are clean, but showing signs of age
