Ancona Falconara Airport

Ancona Falconara Airport (AOI), also known as Marche Airport, opened in the 1930s and is a compact regional gateway for Italy’s Marche region with a single passenger terminal handling mostly short- and medium-haul flights. Located about 12 km north of Ancona in Falconara Marittima, the airport is easily reached via the A14 motorway and regular shuttle buses linking to Ancona and Falconara railway stations, making it convenient for travelers heading to the Adriatic coast or nearby towns. Favored by budget-conscious flyers, AOI is generally affordable thanks to strong low-cost carrier presence; it’s popular with airlines such as Ryanair and Volotea, alongside seasonal services from national carriers.
