Lugano Airport – LSZA

General Information

Lugano Airport (IATA: LUG, ICAO: LSZA) is a regional airport located 4km west of the Swiss city of Lugano, approximately 80km north of Milan, in the municipalities of Agno, Bioggio and Muzzano. It lies closer to the village of Agno than to Lugano itself, and is sometimes known as Lugano-Agno.
Around 200,000 passengers use the airport each year, using some 2,400 flights. There are also limited freight operations, a flying club and flight school. The headquarters of Darwin Airline are located at the airport.

The current location of the airport dates back to 1938, when it opened as a grass field. The first paved runway was laid in 1960, and originally had a length of 1,200m (3,900ft) and a width of 30m (98ft). Initially managed by private sector companies, the airport was taken over by the Azienda comunale dei trasporti della Città di Lugano, Lugano’s municipal transport company, in 1974.
