Catania

Catania Airport serves a large catchment area represented by millions of inhabitants of seven of the nine provinces of central-eastern Sicily: Catania, Syracuse, Ragusa, Enna, Caltanissetta, Messina and part of the province of Agrigento.

 

 

The passenger terminal, inaugurated in 1981 and based on a 1960s project, has undergone restoration work over the years that has resulted in a new terminal on two levels (arrivals and departures), additional boarding piers and gates, as well as a new 30-metre control tower. In 2007 the airport of Catania was named after Vincenzo Bellini.

 

In 2018, the Terminal C pavilion was renovated and inaugurated, which houses the passengers of the easyJet airline for Schengen flights. Terminal C is located on the ground floor, after the bus terminal (an area that houses ticket offices and bus stalls). The Terminal A is for passengers of non-Schengen area flights.
