Scalea will become a territorial airport
The Scalea airfield (ICAO Code LICK), located in the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea of Cosentino in the Municipality of Scalea in the Province of Cosenza, begins the development and redevelopment process to become a territorial airport. The project aims to include the airport in the Calabrian airport network and in the Regional Air Mobility program promoted by ENAC to promote new connections between smaller airports.
The first formal step came with the unanimous approval of the Scalea City Council. Subsequently, on 24 June, at the Civil Aviation Palace, the agreement was signed that initiates institutional collaboration and the interventions necessary for the transformation of the infrastructure.
The Scalea airport will be part of the RAM - Regional Air Mobility project, developed by ENAC through the in-house company Enac Servizi. The initiative will officially kick off on 8 July with a ceremony also attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini.
Regional Air Mobility was created to enhance territorial airports as intermodal and sustainable nodes, at the service of more innovative air mobility. The goal is to improve the accessibility of less congested areas, reduce the distances between territories and create new opportunities for economic and tourist development.
For Scalea and Calabria, the project represents a step towards greater territorial connectivity, with the possibility of integrating the airport into future connections between minor airports and strengthening access to an area of strong landscape and tourist interest.
