Catania–Fontanarossa Airport {{airport codes|CTA|LICC}}, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport ({{langx|it|link=no|Aeroporto Internazionale Vincenzo Bellini di Catania-Fontanarossa}}), is an international airport {{convert|2.3|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} southwest of Catania, the second largest city on the Italian island of Sicily. It is named after the opera composer Vincenzo Bellini, who was born in Catania.

According to Assaeroporti, it is the busiest airport in Sicily and the fourth busiest in Italy in 2020.{{Cite web|title=Home Assaeroporti {{!}} Associazione Italiana Gestori Aeroportuali|url=https://assaeroporti.com/|access-date=2021-03-03|website=Assaeroporti|language=it-IT}} Major airlines such as ITA Airways, Lufthansa and KLM offer services here and connect numerous European destinations such as Rome, Munich, Amsterdam and Berlin, while low-cost airlines such as easyJet and Ryanair offer flights to leisure destinations.

With nearly two million passengers carried in 2016, the Catania/Fontanarossa – Rome/Fiumicino route is Italy's busiest air route, and Europe's second busiest in 2021.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}

History

=Early years=

Catania Airport's history dates back to 1924, when it was the region's first airport. During World War II it was seized by the Allies during the Sicily Campaign and used by the United States Army Air Forces as a military airfield. Twelfth Air Force used the airport as a combat airfield, stationing the 340th Bombardment Group, which flew B-25 Mitchells from 27 August to 19 November 1943. In addition, the HQ, 51st Troop Carrier Wing used the airport from 29 September 1943 to 29 June 1944. Various transport units used the airport for the rest of the war. After the war, it was turned back over to civil authorities.{{cite book |editor=Maurer Maurer |title=Air Force Combat Units of World War II |url=https://archive.org/details/AirForceCombatUnitsOfWorldWarIi-nsia |location=Maxwell AFB, Alabama |publisher=Office of Air Force History |year=1983 |isbn=0-89201-092-4}}

By the late 1940s, it was clear that the airport was fast running out of space and it was deemed necessary to relocate it. In 1950, the new bigger and improved Catania Airport opened for business.

After 20 years of unexpected growth and high passengers levels, in 1981 it was once again necessary to restructure the airport to cope with demand. {{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

=Development since the 2000s=

File:CTA Airport Departures and Check In.png

In order to cope with the increasing passengers figures, a new terminal, equipped with 22 gates and six loading bridges, opened on 8 May 2007 replacing the old facilities. {{citation needed|date=October 2017}} The current "investment programme" has ensured that Catania Fontanarossa Airport continues to look forward and plan for growth over the next ten years, implementing a whole new infrastructure and making many additions, including a panoramic restaurant, a new airside runway and further office space.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

Ryanair started flying to Catania in 2013, initially announcing only one route to Catania while also starting operations to Comiso Airport, a new airport which opened in 2013 and is located approximately {{Convert|100|km|mi|-1|abbr=on}} from Catania, near the city of Ragusa.{{cite web|url=https://www.ryanair.com/ie/en/|title=Official Ryanair website - Cheap flights from Ireland - Ryanair|website=ryanair.com|access-date=27 December 2018}} {{nonspecific|date=June 2022}}

To cope with the fast passenger growth, two additional terminals were opened in 2018 (Terminal B and C). Terminal C is used exclusively by easyJet.

=2023 Terminal Fire and temporary disruption =

On 16 July 2023, a part of the airport was burned in a fire of unclear origin. Flights to Catania on that day were redirected to Comiso, Palermo and Trapani, and other flight activity was almost entirely interrupted until the following 19 July.{{cite web|url=https://www.cataniatoday.it/cronaca/incendio-aeroporto-catania-voli-dirottati-procura-inchiesta.html|last1=Raiti|first1=Daria|last2=Di Grazia|first2=Andrea|title=Incendio in aeroporto, voli dirottati su Palermo e Trapani: Procura apre inchiesta|work=Catania Today|language=it|date=17 July 2023|access-date=17 July 2023}} Flights over the following 3 week period continued to be disrupted until the normal operations were fully resumed on 5 August.{{Cite web |date=2023-08-05 |title=Catania airport returns to normal service - English |url=https://www.ansa.it/english/news/general_news/2023/08/05/catania-airport-returns-to-normal-service_9997c5c7-95ce-4c09-b9de-26d7cff48287.html |access-date=2023-08-13 |website=ANSA.it |language=en}}
