Search flights to Pisa Intl. Airport

Galileo Galilei Airport was built in 1930 in the historic city of Pisa in the Tuscany Region of Italy, to be used by military aircrafts of the Italian Air Force. During the Second World War the airport was occupied by the United States Army Air Force and used as a military base. The airport was named after Galileo Galilei, who was one of the most famous scientists in the world and native to Pisa city. In the 2000s the airport made great progress. Both military and commercial flights continue to be carried out at the airport and around four million passengers travel annually from Galileo Galilei Airport.
