history
A first airfield was established near San Giusto in 1911. During the First World War and in the years after, there was a military flight school here . Shortly after the war, the German Dornier-Werke, together with some business people from Pisa, took over the closed Gallinari shipyard in Marina di Pisa and founded the company CMASA - Costruzioni Meccaniche Aeronautiche SA, which sold Dornier Wal- type flying boats there until 1931, circumventing the Versailles Treaty built. In 1931 Fiat took over the production facilities. At that time, the Piaggio company settled in nearby Pontedera , where it first built aircraft engines and then aircraft. In 1938 the San Giusto airport was expanded. During the Second World War , a bomber squadron of the Italian Air Force operated from here, which is still stationed in Pisa-San Giusto today as an air transport unit. From 1948 on, the civil service could be resumed here. The passenger terminal opened in 1966 has been modernized several times over the years.
The airport had a train station until the end of 2013, from which trains to Pisa and Florence ran. The station was rebuilt and reopened in March 2017 with a new concept (people mover ). The South Tyrolean Leitner AG built a so-called MiniMetro with the companies Condotte d'Aqua, Agudio and Inso Sistemi .
