Italian Airport Owner Has Big Bizav Plans
Home to Piaggio's new factory, Riviera Airport sees itself as a new, low air traffic density alternative to travelers in the Liguria region and beyond.

Italy’s Riviera Airport, home to Piaggio Aerospace’s new manufacturing plant, has unveiled its intentions to market itself as a new dedicated, business and general aviation hub for the Northern Mediterranean area. The management of the privately owned and operated airport, located in Villanova d'Albenga in the Liguria region, plans to create a new runway, associated infrastructure and customs and immigration clearance. Its current 4,688-foot (1,429-meter) runway can handle aircraft with a takeoff weight of up to 66 tons (60 metric tons/145,500 pounds).
