Lugano Airport
Lugano is a regional airport, situated in the Swiss city of Lugano near the border with Italy. The area of the airport once used to be a grassland but later, in 1960, the paved runways were built. At the beginning of the 1980s, a private company named Crossair invested in the airport and opened connecting flights between major European cities and Lugano.

Lugano’s annual income reaches approximately 12 million Swiss francs, which makes the airport an important source of income for the Insubric region.
