history

The airport was established as a military airfield at the end of 1926 and opened to civilian air traffic. As early as 1930 there were commercial flight connections to Munich (via Innsbruck ) and to Milan and Venice (via Trento ) for a short time . Between 1992 and 1999 it was modernized and expanded with funds from the Province of South Tyrol. From 1999 onwards, airlines with little success with the public started offering scheduled flights, initially Tyrolean Airways , from 2002 Air Alps and most recently from 2013 to 2015 Darwin Airline .

Another expansion stage projected by the state of South Tyrol was discussed controversially in the South Tyrolean public for many years. After a referendum in 2016, in which 70.6% of voters rejected a draft law on the airport's development concept, the state government decided to withdraw from the operation of the airport. On September 16, 2019, the "open procedure" for the sale of the state-owned shares in the operating company (100%) was completed with the sale to the company ABD Holding GmbH, founded specifically for this purpose, by entrepreneurs Josef Gostner , Hans Peter Haselsteiner and René Benko . The purchase price was 3.8 million euros.

In December 2019, the airport owners announced the founding of their own airline: “Sky Alps” should therefore fly to Rome twice a day in May 2020 and offer tourist charter flights in summer. The planned start has now been postponed to the 2020/2021 winter season.
