PPR mandatory! Don’t be surprised if they don’t reply for half a day — 'were very busy' —, it’s still a 75€ penalty. For spontaneous visits, go to Trento from now on.

Prices Grafair 21.07.2026 Piper Arrow 1247 kg MTOW
Landing: 85€
Handling: 226€
Per overnight stay: 79€

Handling mandatory if staying more than 2 days or if you need to refuel. Otherwise, limited PPR possible (limited to 2 aircraft on the field at the same time).

Nice airport, and by taxi/Uber it’s only 25 minutes to the city center (approx. 20€). Handling service is excellent. "Free" drinks and ice cream. AVGAS available.

BUT: the prices are simply excessive.

Although an international airport, very GA-friendly and inexpensive.
VFR arrival and departure cleared through the CTR without issues. Held a bit in the hold due to airline traffic. The tower even apologized (no need—not their fault, but nice).
Parking at the far end by the woods—bus transfer to the helicopter terminal.
AVGAS with AIRBP Sterling card.
Price for Piper Arrow: 42€ (landing; parking free).

Important: phone number for the shuttle bus: +47 67 03 11 12

Well-maintained, firm grass runway on a small island. Overnight parking and camping directly on the fine sandy beach possible. Excellent communication with the operator. With 800 m, also well suited for larger aircraft. GEM!
