History
The airport was established in October 1926 with a 1,300-metre (4,300 ft) landing runway.
Darwin Airline ceased their PSO-flights to Rome on behalf of Alitalia on 18 June 2015 leaving Bolzano Airport again without any scheduled commercial traffic. In June 2016, a public opinion poll decided to no longer support the highly deficient airport with money from the government. Therefore, it was decided that the airport's operator company would be liquidated and the licence given back to the Italian authorities, which means the airport would be shut down entirely if no other operator were found. South Tyrol spent over €120 million in recent years for the airport without attracting any lasting scheduled traffic.
In 2019, the South Tyrol government sold the airport to ABD Holding, a private company of entrepreneurs Josef Gostner, René Benko and Hans Peter Haselsteiner, for a price of 3.8 million euros. The airport extended its runway to 1,462 m (4,797 ft) in late 2021.
