Civil Airfield Sarzana / Luni (LIQW)

LIQW operates as a military airfield with civil use permitted via the local Aeroclub Lunense. Use requires formal membership in the Aeroclub, with application and submission of aircraft and pilot documents at least one week in advance; communication in Italian is helpful but English is possible. Membership costs €100 per calendar year, and each landing incurs an additional €20. The club apron is separated by a gate northeast of the runway. The Aeroclub is generally open only on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday; outside these days, activating fire service is required at extra cost. 100LL avgas is available for members. The runway is about 1,250 meters long beyond the thresholds and slopes toward the sea, so runway 36 is preferred even with light tailwind.

A large Aeroclub restaurant with a garden setting offers lunch and local wine. A well-known winery is within walking distance; otherwise, taxis are needed for transport. Example: landing and parking about €200 for two days. Assistance with car hire is available. Contact: aeroclubsarzana@tiscali.it.
