The airport L'Aquila-Preturo ( it .: Aeroporto di L'Aquila-Preturo “Aeroporto dei Parchi” ) is located in the Italian region of Abruzzo , around eight kilometers west-northwest of the city center of L'Aquila , near the village of Preturo. The airfield is used by general aviation and regional airlines.
Infrastructure

history
The airfield was created from 1968 and operated by the local aero club until 2009. From April 2009, after a severe earthquake , the airfield served as a base for the Italian civil defense . The airfield was slightly expanded for the G8 summit organized in L'Aquila in July 2009 . The city then transferred the airport to a new airport operator from the Aosta Valley (AVDA) with the intention of bringing charter and regional airlines to L'Aquila. Air Vallée subsequently became involved to a limited extent.
