Bolzano Airport (BZO/LIPB), also known as Bolzano Dolomiti Airport, is a small regional airport about 5 km south of Bolzano in Italy's South Tyrol. Opened in the 1920s and set in the Adige Valley, it primarily handles general aviation, private jets, flight training, and seasonal commercial services, with a short runway framed by mountains. It is a convenient gateway to the Dolomites and the Alto Adige wine region.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors book morning departures when possible: valley winds and afternoon thunderstorms are more likely later in the day, and the airport's mountain setting can cause weather delays.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about 5 km south of Bolzano's center; taxis take 10–15 minutes, and local buses connect to the city but may run infrequently on weekends. Rental cars are available at the terminal, and the nearby A22 autostrada makes it easy to reach the Dolomites, Merano, or Trento. Allow extra time in winter, as mountain weather can affect road and flight schedules.
