Pilots — not pallets — are what Lecce Galatina Airport (IATA: LCC, ICAO: LIBN) turns out. This dual-use Italian Air Force field near Galatina in the Salento is home to the 61° Stormo and the International Flight Training School (IFTS), a joint venture of the Aeronautica Militare and Leonardo that trains Italian and allied jet pilots for the Eurofighter and F-35; since July 2025 the new M-345 (T-345A) trainer has joined the established M-346 fleet. There is effectively no commercial scheduled or cargo traffic. For air freight in southern Apulia, Brindisi Airport (IATA: BDS), about 35 km away, and Bari (IATA: BRI) are the nearest cargo gateways. Road links run via the SS613 and SS16.
