Placed in a strategic position, six kilometers from Lugano city centre and only 30 kilometers from the border with Italy, Lug ... ano Airport redefines the concept of contemporary mobility. With car parking just 100 meters from the Terminal and a check-in open up to 20 minutes before Departure, Lugano Airport offers a fast, comfortable and pleasant travel experience. Combining the Swiss tradition of excellence and perfection with an atmosphere of Mediterranean hospitality, Lugano Airport is a real City Airport able to offer tailor made services for the needs of the different customers and personalised attention toward the passengers. With an annual turnover of 12 million Swiss Francs, 80 employees and a dynamic management, Lugano Airport covers an important role for the Insubric region. The airport grounds are property of the City of Lugano and the management of the infrastructure is responsibility of Lugano Airport SA, whose shares are owned by the Canton of Ticino (12.5%) and the City of Lugano (87.5%). Daily flights to Zurich enable our passengers to benefit from a worldwide network of Swiss and its Star Alliance codeshare partners as well as other European and international airlines. Additionally, during the summer Silverair operates seasonal flights to Elba and the Croatian Island of Lošinj/Lussino. Moreover, General Aviation is an important pillar of Lugano Airport. The falling away of slots and queues at security, customs and immigration make us an attractive substitute for Milan airports and a favourite among corporate and private clients valueing our efficiency and accessibility. read more
