The airport that serves Tuscany's capital has various names including Florence Peretola, Amerigo Vespucci Airport, or perhaps more simply, Florence Airport.
Despite being the regional capital's airport, it isn't the busiest in the region, that accolade belongs to Pisa Airport which has a greater number of flights, passengers and airlines serving it. |
