Treviso Airport

Photo by Adrian Pingstone.


Treviso airport is going to be closed in the summer of 2011 for essential runway maintenance and possibly the installation of technology which will allow landings in heavy fog. Those of you who fly in to Treviso during the winter will be jumping for joy at the prospect of no diversions to airports on the other side of the country. Unfortunately those of you who have their wedding booked in the months of June, July and August (possibly September) and have plans to use Treviso airport for your guests, will be effected by this closure.

I spoke to Treviso airport this morning who inform me it is probable that all flights in to Treviso will be diverted to Venice airport. Although they cannot guarantee this and do not know what the schedule will be.

With wedding parties expecting to fly in to Treviso from London in June and August, and from all over Ireland in July this news is causing a little ripple in the The Italian Wedding Planner office today.
I have tried to get in contact with Ryanair but so far I have nothing to report. I did find a few contact details if anyone wishes to try:
greenc@ryanair.com  = Head of Customer Service (Caroline Greene)

KellyG@ryanair.com = Customer Service (Gemma walsh)
mcnamara@ryanair.com  = Head of Communications (Stephen McNamara)

    Hello,
    I have been informed that Treviso airport is going to be open this summer. This has not been confirmed by the airport. However I have a wedding party booked to fly in to Treviso in July and at the moment they understand they are landing in to Treviso not Venice. I shall keep you posted and if anyone has any news I would be delighted to hear from you.

    I have booked a flight to Treviso from Dublin for the Donovan wedding. I have a feeling my flight will be going in to Venice.

    Do you know when we will know for sure what the deal is?

    As far as they take us to Venice I dont have a problem not going to Treviso. Its only 25 mins away. I just hope they dont cancel the flights or something.

    Just spoke to the people at Ryan air - all Treviso flights this summer will be diverted to Marco Polo airport - but there might be a schedule change which is a pain as Ive already booked a hotel! :(

    Thank you for letting us know! You should talk to your hotel and see how flexible they are. Most of them will do their best to help you. It is only sticky if you are going on a busy week like the Regatta.
    Good luck!

    Please enlighten us, what delights does Treviso airport have in store for us other than a new runway and computer system to allow for landing in fog?

    I am very happy that Treviso airport shall be back in operation from the 30th September.

    I wish I could tell you there will be a visible difference, but the only time anyone will notice the difference, is when on cold foggy winter nights flights will finally be able to land in Treviso and not get diverted to the other side of the country!

    I am delighted to report that at the moment Summer has arrived in Treviso! Have a great holiday!

    I always try to choose Ryanair for my trips because I am very fond of their services.
