## Description

Sardinia's summer rush lands here: Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB/LIEO) handled 3,883,244 passengers in 2024, up about 18% year on year, making it one of Italy's busiest seasonal gateways. It serves the glamorous Costa Smeralda — the Aga Khan IV's luxury coastline around Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo in northeastern Sardinia. Operated by GEASAR, the airport is served in season by Ryanair, easyJet, Volotea, ITA Airways, Lufthansa and others. Freight, by contrast, is marginal: only about 1,110 tonnes of cargo and mail moved in 2024 (down 5.6%), handled on the general apron with no dedicated cargo terminal. For genuine air freight in Sardinia, Cagliari Elmas (CAG) in the south is the main option, with Alghero (AHO) a further alternative in the northwest. Surface links run via the SS131 dcn trunk road and Olbia's Isola Bianca ferry port to mainland Italy.
