Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (IATA: TRS, ICAO: LIPQ), also known as Trieste Airport or Ronchi dei Legionari Airport, is an airport located in Ronchi dei Legionari (Gorizia), near Trieste, the capital and biggest city of the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia.
This airport is strategically positioned as a gateway to a multi-national, 4-country region where the Upper Adriatic meets the Eastern Alps, with a service area stretching well beyond the borders of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and its 1.2 million inhabitants, into Veneto, Slovenia, Croatia and Carinthia, an area that has a population of about 5 million people as a whole.
It is a major international, modern air terminal with landing and take-off authorization for all types of aircraft and handling authorization for all types of goods.
In recent years, the type and amount of activities carried out at the airport have increased, to the point that a new facility for cargo and related services has been opened and the airport now also offers services such as aerotaxi and executive flights.
The airport has two long-term car parks: one is free, while one is attended and nearer the terminal. A pay-and-display short-term car park area is available outside the terminal.
