Overview
With 8,584,651 passengers having passed through the airport in 2011, it is the fourth Italian airport in terms of air traffic.
A modern terminal was opened in 2002 but it is already at full capacity. It handles all scheduled and charter flights, including some long-haul flights to the Middle East and North America.
The airport is managed by SAVE S.p.A., a company partially owned by local authorities which also controls the smaller Treviso Airport, dedicated mainly to low-cost carriers. The stock is traded on the Borsa Italiana (Milan Stock Exchange).
The airport is connected to the nearby railway station of Venice Mestre and to the bus terminal of Piazzale Roma in Venice by scheduled bus services; to several destinations in the Venice itself by the Alilaguna water shuttle (Blue, Red and Orange lines); and to Piazza San Marco by the express Gold Line water taxi.
