Civil Airfield L Aquila / Preturo (LIAP)

by Patrick2026-01-05 13:28:02 UTC

Landed there Summer 2025. Another Italian aviation gem! Very nice GA airfield, with Avgas and unleaded Mogas available (paid by credit card). Landing/parking fees negligible. Taxi to downtown L'Aquila about 20 minutes. Beware of high elevation/density alt., glider towing operations (do not overfly gliders too low while they wait on the runway threshold) and high terrain surrounding the airport.

by Patrick2025-08-26 20:12:06 UTC

Typical "prior main airfield" of good old times (like Milano Bresso, Torino Aeritalia, Padua, Verona Boscomantico, ...). No or reasonably low fees. Friendly GA vibes. Close to city. Fantastic experience, friendly and helpful!

International Airport Pafos (LCPH)

by Patrick2025-08-26 20:05:06 UTC

Recommend EDT Handling for good support. For smaller planes parking on "public GA ramp" is less expensive. Very busy with summer holiday airline traffic. Local pilots with airport pass report low hassles.
