Located halfway between Perugia and Assisi, the “San Francesco d’Assisi” airport represents the main connection route to and from Umbria, southern Tuscany, and some provinces of Marche and Lazio. Strategically located in the territory, it is easily accessible thanks to the direct connection with the highway. View information on how to reach the airport
Completely renovated and expanded for the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, it now represents an innovative and comfortable infrastructure, allowing for much faster check-in, security checks, and boarding operations compared to large airports. It offers passengers numerous services, including a flight information point – ticket office, ATM, bar – newsstand – tobacco shop, free Wi-Fi internet connection, and a new commercial area. A large parking lot is located in front of the main entrance of the terminal, while inside the terminal are the most important car rental companies.
Far from the high-tech image of contemporary airports, Perugia’s aims to be a recognizable architecture integrated into the Umbrian landscape.
The new 4700 sq m terminal consists of 8 square-plan pavilions in red-painted reinforced concrete with green copper sloped roofs and large windows overlooking Assisi. On the landside, the pavilions contain waiting rooms, a cafeteria, a conference room, and an exhibition hall. On the airside, there are arrival and departure halls. Only the structure of the building that housed the old terminal is maintained. The interior spaces are completely redesigned: in the center, a shopping gallery with two rows of shops on the sides and behind them, distributed autonomously and in a controlled manner, the offices of the various entities operating at the airport. The restaurant consists of two adjoining pavilions, similar in shape and size to those in the passenger area. Outside, parking lots are planted with olive trees that shade parked cars and remind us that we are in Umbria.
From the skillful hand of Architect Gae Aulenti, one of the most comfortable and innovative infrastructures in our peninsula was born.
