Company profile

Two airports with different jobs in one regional system

Toscana Aeroporti runs Florence Amerigo Vespucci and Pisa Galileo Galilei as a coordinated system rather than two identical airports. Florence is the compact city gateway, oriented toward business, leisure and full-service connections through European hubs. Pisa handles the larger passenger flow, a broad low-cost network and Tuscany's principal air-cargo activity. The group also brings route development, passenger services, airport design and construction into one operating model.

Network and routes

One region, two distinct traffic models

The system reached a record 9.8 million passengers in 2025. Florence connects the regional capital with major European cities and hubs; Pisa combines international low-cost traffic, domestic links and cargo. A published network-development policy shows how the operator evaluates new destinations, frequencies and airline support.

Passenger experience

Two service charters turn the journey into commitments

The Florence and Pisa charters specify standards for information, security, baggage, accessibility and terminal services. Their passenger portals make the system practical: travellers can check live flights, ground transport, parking and airport facilities before arriving, while each airport retains services shaped around its own terminal and traffic mix.

Infrastructure delivery

The group designs as well as operates airports

Toscana Aeroporti Engineering supports airport planning and design, while Toscana Aeroporti Costruzioni adds construction capability. That integrated chain is visible in Pisa's passenger-terminal expansion. For Florence, the issuer's November 2025 update records publication of the EIA-SEA decree for the 2025-2035 Master Plan and explains that further authorisation stages still follow.

Ground and commercial operations

Behind every flight is a handling, retail and parking business

Running the system means more than runways. Ground handlers check in and board passengers, load baggage, cargo and mail, and assist aircraft on stands. The group's non-aviation model also spans food, retail, advertising, car rental, parking, property, lounges and a cargo agency; one set of public-parking rules covers both Pisa and Florence.
