With its history and extraordinary artistic heritage, Padua is the unmissable stop for those who wish to combine the pleasure of flight with the discovery of a unique city.

Development of regional aviation tourism:
benefits of smaller airports

Padua’s Allegri Airport embodies this philosophy perfectly, providing a unique opportunity for private pilots and flight enthusiasts to combine the passion for aviation with the pleasure of travel and discovery.

With the growth of aviation tourism and the search for more authentic travel experiences, smaller airports are taking on an increasingly central role as they offer…

Greater flexibility in flight scheduling and itineraries, thus avoiding the rigidities of larger airports.

A direct relationship with the local area, allowing travelers to discover less-visited destinations.

Focused experiences, thanks to more collected facilities and tailored services.

A different flying experience: beyond transportation

At smaller airports, time takes on a different dimension: there is not the hustle and bustle of large international hubs but the pleasure of a more welcoming and a relaxed atmosphere. Here flights turn into an opportunity to explore the surrounding area, with the possibility of landing near places of great historical, cultural and scenic interest.

The Allegri Airport situated in the heart of  the Veneto region is an ideal starting place for those who wish to visit northern Italy from above, and enjoy the trip with the freedom that only aviation tourism can offer.
