## Description

5,312 tonnes of cargo within fifteen years, five new hangars totalling 19,000 square metres, and just over 50,000 passengers in the first seven months of 2026 — down 20.2 per cent: the figures around Forlì Luigi Ridolfi Airport (IATA: FRL, ICAO: LIPK) describe an airport betting on its future rather than its present. Operator F.A. S.r.l. holds a 30-year full management concession, obtained its ENAC airport certificate in 2020 and resumed flight operations on 30 March 2021; its development plan, filed with the Italian civil aviation authority, runs in three five-year phases to 2038 and names passenger traffic, cargo and general aviation as its three pillars. The planned freight volume is expected to consist mainly of spare parts and engines tied to a maintenance and overhaul area on the field. As things stand, however, there is no regular cargo terminal and no freighter service at Forlì, and scheduled passenger flying is limited, with Ryanair serving Palermo year-round plus seasonal routes. Until the expansion takes effect, air freight from Romagna moves through Bologna Guglielmo Marconi (IATA: BLQ), about 70 kilometres north-west along the A14 motorway and the cargo airport of Emilia-Romagna, with Milan Malpensa (MXP) handling intercontinental freighter traffic. Shipments within the EU need no customs declaration; third-country goods are cleared at Bologna or Malpensa.
