Pilot Comments for LIMG
Stefan
Good airfield with interesting IFR approach with transition to visual final approach between the mountains. Fast service and nice little terminal with a bistro inside. Parking for smaller aircraft is on a rather good grass parking with marshaller. Use the briefing on their website to familiarize with the approach. Paid in total 68,61€ for fees+handling.

LIMG (Riviera Airport) is open to general aviation with no PPR required for VFR arrivals or departures, except for customs/immigration, which may require advance notice. IFR operations are available, but the approach is considered demanding due to surrounding terrain and high minima; a briefing via the airport website is recommended. The field has STARs, SIDs, and a LOC/DME approach; a GPS approach is planned. Operations are typically from 08:00 to 20:00 local time, with earlier closure in winter.
Landing and parking fees are generally described as moderate to high for Italy, with handling sometimes avoidable by following specific procedures at the terminal. Example: landing, parking (1 night), and handling about €100; another example: landing and handling about €80. Parking is usually on grass for piston aircraft, which is well maintained and firm; asphalt parking is reserved for larger aircraft and Medevac. During major events such as the Monaco F1 week, fees increase substantially.
Fuel (Avgas and Jet A1) is available, but Avgas supply can be variable and should be confirmed in advance; Jet A1 is reliably available. Payment for fuel and other fees may require visiting multiple counters. There is a small bistro on site offering warm meals, modern passenger facilities including lounges, free Wi-Fi, and helpful staff.
Taxis to Alassio cost around €25–30 and are easily arranged; car hire is available in Alassio at the train station (Hertz/Dollar), but not directly at the airport. The area offers good accommodation options and restaurants in Alassio.
Approaches can be challenging due to high terrain, wind conditions, and valley location—especially on runway 09 or when arriving from the north—requiring careful planning. Circuit procedures may involve close proximity to terrain; see AIP/NOTAM for details. Customs/immigration services are available on site with advance coordination as needed.
Overall, Riviera Airport offers friendly service and good facilities for general aviation pilots seeking access to the Ligurian coast, though costs are higher than some alternatives.
