The Turin airport ( ital. Aeroporto di Torino-Caselle "Sandro Pertini" ) is an international airport in the town of Caselle Torinese , 16 kilometers north of the Piedmontese capital Turin in northern Italy .
Transport links
The airport has a train station that is part of the Servizio ferroviario metropolitano di Torino , but is not connected to the city center of Turin. With the exception of late at night, early in the morning and on weekends, trains run every half hour between the airport and Dora GTT train station outside Turin city center . The airport train takes 19 minutes for this route. From the Dora GTT train station, the Porta Susa city center train station and thus the Metropolitana di Torino can only be reached by bus. A journey with a change costs 3 euros (as of April 2019), but the corresponding ticket is not available from the machine on the platform.
The city center can usually be reached in around 30 minutes via a motorway-like road . The most important car rental companies are represented at the airport. Buses run to Turin and Aosta . The Sadem shuttle bus connects the airport with the city center ( Porta Susa and Porta Nuova train stations ) from around 6 a.m. to midnight every 15 to 30 minutes. The journey takes 40 to 50 minutes.

The Antonov brushed against trees and roofs of houses in the village of San Francesco al Campo behind the airport before it finally collided with a residential building. Two of the 23 occupants of the plane were killed in the accident, and two house residents died (see also Aeroflot flight 9981 ) .
