High fees, but worth it. Great location, outstanding service. Limited staff, but they go above and beyond. If you reserve a rental car (e.g., with AVIS; ask ops about options), it will be delivered directly to the aircraft. Important: AOPA membership with crew card halves the fees, from ~โ‚ฌ240 to ~โ‚ฌ120 for 3 nights + handling. BP Crew Card recommended for refueling.

PPR is mandatory and must be requested 72 hours in advance, typically via email to the Aeroclub Siena at ampugnanosiena@gmail.com or by phone at +39 0577 313206. The airport operates under the Aeroclub Siena, with ENAV as the state authority. IFR procedures are available but may involve coordination challenges between civil and military controllers; VFR arrivals are straightforward. No instrument approach is currently published for LIQS, though visual approaches are possible and a VOR approach exists at Grosseto, 30 nm away. The field sits amid hilly terrain, requiring a minimum ceiling of 1500 ft for safe arrival.

Fees are high compared to other Italian airports. For aircraft under 2 tons, one example shows first-day fees (including mandatory handling) about โ‚ฌ80โ€“100, with additional daily parking around โ‚ฌ20. Specific surcharges include PPR about โ‚ฌ20, fire brigade about โ‚ฌ100 per movement per aircraft, landing about โ‚ฌ10, passenger fee about โ‚ฌ10 per person, and parking outdoors about โ‚ฌ2 per hour. A missed departure slot can incur a penalty of about โ‚ฌ200. Example: total charges for five days with one passenger and a missed slot reached about โ‚ฌ500. No AOPA discounts apply currently.

Avgas (100LL) and Jet-A1 are available via BP card or credit card at self-serve pumps. Rental cars from Europcar, Avis, and Hertz can be arranged in advance for delivery directly to the apron; delivery fees apply. Taxis to Siena cost around โ‚ฌ30; the city is approximately 10โ€“15 minutes away by car.

Ground staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, offering direct car delivery to aircraft and efficient service. Handling is mandatory. Facilities include basic crew rooms; no on-field restaurant is mentioned.

Customs require advance notice as part of PPR; arrangements may be inconsistent and should be confirmed by email with full travel details.

Overall, LIQS offers good access to Tuscany with professional ground services but imposes high fees and strict procedural requirements for visiting pilots.
