## Description

Venice Marco Polo (IATA: VCE, ICAO: LIPZ) handled about 61,950 tonnes of cargo in 2025, up 0.6% on 2024 and enough to keep it Italy's third-largest freight airport and the leading air-cargo gateway of the country's north-east. Eyewear from Luxottica, machinery from the Veneto and fashion from the region's workshops form the backbone of that tonnage. Most of it moves as bellyhold on intercontinental services — Delta and United to North America, Emirates to Dubai — alongside express and general freight from integrators FedEx and DHL, with FedEx running its AirPoint facility at the airport as the hub for the whole Triveneto area. Freight is processed in a dedicated cargo area on Via Bonmartini in Tessera, outside the passenger terminal, with customs clearance on site; acceptance and delivery go through the airport's authorised agents. Passenger traffic of roughly 12 million a year underpins the available belly capacity. Operator SAVE Group also runs Treviso and Verona and markets the north-east's airports as a single system. For trucking, the SS14 connects to the A27 and A4 motorways, Mestre is 13 kilometres away and the Port of Venice sits alongside, opening up sea-air options. Shippers needing more frequency or widebody freighters usually turn to Milan Malpensa (MXP) or Bologna (BLQ).
