Comiso

Comiso-Ragusa “Pio La torre” Airport is situated in the province of Ragusa, 5 km to the north of the town of Comiso. The airport land extends into the municipalities of Comiso and Chiaramonte Gulfi.

 

The airport, which is named in memory of Major General Vincenzo Magliocco, is equipped with a runway of 2,538 metres. Built as a military airport, it has been converted to civil and cargo use and is part of Sicily’s regional air transport plan, which envisages the formation of two aeronautical hubs: the airports of Palermo and Trapani in the west, and the airports of Catania and Comiso in the east. The Airport was opened to civil traffic in May 2013.

 

In 2022 there was the deed of "merger by incorporation" of the management company of Comiso Airport (Soaco) with the management company of Catania Airport (SAC).
