## Description

Tuscany's passenger traffic may lean towards Florence, but its air freight sits at Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA/LIRP), which handled about 12,970 tonnes of cargo and mail in 2024 and grew 3.6 percent to 3,209 tonnes in the first quarter of 2025. DHL Express has run its central Italy express hub here since 2014 and remains the main driver of that growth, with FedEx and UPS also present for express and cargo handling. Toscana Aeroporti operates Pisa alongside Florence–Peretola and concentrates the group's freight activity at the Pisa site. The traffic profile mixes overnight integrator rotations flown on their own aircraft with belly capacity on scheduled services; regular widebody freighter operations are not part of the picture. Flows mirror the regional economy: leather and footwear from the tanning district around Santa Croce sull'Arno, fashion goods and accessories, paper products from the Lucca area, pharmaceuticals, and machinery spares. Customs follows EU procedure through Italy's Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, with AEO status and electronic export declarations standard practice for regular shippers. The container port of Livorno lies only about 20 kilometres away and Florence some 80 kilometres via the A11 and A12 motorways, making road feeder services straightforward. Bologna (BLQ) at roughly 150 kilometres and Milan Malpensa (MXP) at about 300 kilometres are the practical alternatives when intercontinental freighter capacity is needed.
