PILOT AIRPORT: increases the traffic of private airplanes

MARINA DI CAMPO - La Pila Airport

As soon as the new stretch of the runway is finished, there is great satisfaction for the numerous requests for interest from Aero Club, groups of pilots, aircraft manufacturers and many owners of Italian and European aircraft. To communicate this good news is FLYTOELBA, the founding association of fans of the flight and the airport from the Island of Elba.

Thanks to the serious and constant work done in the last 2 years by those who firmly believe in the airport as a great resource for quality tourism, the results start to arrive.

"As early as 2017 - explains Lamberto Ferrini - we saw an interesting increase in the traffic of private aircraft that, with the stay on the Elbe of their guests, are certainly an element of growth for the economy of our territory. program new activities to further stimulate this flow. "

The 2018 begins, in fact, with the two big events: the first event entitled "La Zingarata" will be on Saturday 19 May. Dedicated to owners of private aircraft, both from Italy and abroad, provides an arrival of about 100 airplanes with 150 people on board, many of which will stop on weekends, rent cars or bicycles, will go to sleep at the hotel, they will go shopping in the shops and taste the excellent cuisine of the Elbani restaurants.

The second event will be held in June, precisely from the 20th starting on the 22nd: from England will arrive a dozen airplanes with about 20 between drivers and passengers. They too will stay on the island for a few nights and will have the opportunity to experience and appreciate the island's hospitality and its countless beauties. Among the proposals, the program also includes a possible visit to Pianosa, which still very few foreigners know.

"This - according to FlyToElba - can be one of the best ways to use La Pila airport, making it an important tool for creating quality tourism!"

There are also many other initiatives !!! The dates have not yet been confirmed, but there have been requests for periods in which some Swiss flying schools would like to come and take weeks of training, given that LA PILA is one of the most important training airports in Italy for take-off and landing.

"The airport - concludes Lamberto Ferrini - is certainly a great opportunity to learn how to value." All of us Elbani must believe as the Region has done by investing in its improvement. "

The invitation to the activities of Elba is clear: by collaborating all we can contribute - even with little - to grow the image of this infrastructure, making it a source of luster for the island and a more important resource for our economy.
