History of the Airport
Few people know, but Treviso Airport was originally a tiny flying club, which was regularly used by the owners of small aircraft, who lived nearby in the town of the same name Treviso, or by guests from Venice who came here. Treviso Airport received the status of a civil airport only in the 1930s.
In 1953, by order of the local authorities, a new terminal was built and opened. A few months later, the first plane from another country landed there. Soon, flights from London and other cities began routed to Treviso Airport. In 1960, a new airport, San Angelo, was built near the city, and Treviso started to be used only for cargo planes. Later on, it housed a military squadron of Italian Air Force aircraft. The turning point in the history of Treviso Airport came in 1996 when San Angelo became part of the Venice airport system, and Treviso was designated as an airport for charter and low-cost airlines.
