history
The Ravenna airfield was opened as a military airfield in 1916 and later named after the fighter pilot Gastone Novelli, who was killed in an accident in 1919. Military use ended in the 1950s, whereupon the Aeroclub Ravenna took over the airfield and had the 1200 meter long asphalt runway built by 1962. Maintenance halls and other smaller facilities were also built. Over time, a number of air sports events were organized on site . A further expansion (to the commercial airport Ravennas) was not considered, as there are several other airfields and airports in the area, including the Forlì airport , which is about 25 kilometers south .
