## Description

Operator Sacal is pushing hard at Crotone Sant'Anna 'Pythagoras' Airport (IATA: CRV, ICAO: LIBC): the Calabrian airport company, which also runs Lamezia Terme and Reggio Calabria, recorded 340,286 passengers in 2025, up about 25 percent, and targets 500,000 by 2027. The airport sits at Isola di Capo Rizzuto on the Ionian coast near Crotone and is named after Pythagoras, who taught in the ancient colony of Kroton. Ryanair served Bergamo, Bologna, Treviso and Turin in the 2025 summer season, Sky Alps flew Rome-Fiumicino under a public service obligation, and a Düsseldorf link was added. There is no commercial cargo handling, no dedicated freight terminal and no permanent air-cargo customs post; shipments from the Crotone area move by road feeder service. Lamezia Terme (SUF), about 100 km west, is the nearest cargo gateway, while larger air freight consignments are normally processed through Rome Fiumicino (FCO) or Milan Malpensa (MXP). An instrument landing system dormant for two decades and a remote tower are both slated to go live in 2026, alongside roughly 10 million euros for safety works, fencing and apron expansion.
