History
The decision to build a large modern airport was made in the 1960s to stimulate the economy and tourism in southern Italy. The official opening took place in June 1976, when the first Itavia flight from Rome Ciampino Airport landed here. Initially, the airport was conceived as a central hub serving key cities in the region, including Catanzaro, Crotone and Cosenza.
A key stage in the airport's development was 1990, when it received international status. This event coincided with the FIFA World Cup held in Italy and gave a powerful boost to passenger traffic. In the following decades, the airport underwent several waves of modernization to meet growing demands. The runway and apron were expanded, and the passenger terminal was repeatedly extended and updated.
