Cagliari Elmas Airport

Cagliari Elmas Airport first opened in 1937 and today operates from a single main passenger terminal that handles domestic and international traffic; it’s the principal gateway to southern Sardinia and the capital, Cagliari. Compact and easy to navigate, the airport serves both year-round and strong seasonal leisure demand, with regular services from ITA Airways and a busy presence of low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet. Located about 7–10 km from Cagliari city centre, Elmas is linked by a short regional train hop and frequent shuttle buses, taxis and car-rental options, making transfers quick and convenient. Generally considered affordable for travelers, Elmas is a smart starting point for beach escapes, business trips and island hopping.
