History The Trento airport was built in 1914 by the Austrians, in Gardolo between the railway and the Adige river. It housed up to 50 aircraft and was bombed by the Italian air force in 1916 and 1918. The planes were set on fire on November 4, 1918, coinciding with the Austro-Hungarian route. After the war it became the port of an international civil line, then the seat of the Caproni aircraft yards and testing center. During the Second World War it was used by German troops. In 1969 the airport was moved to its current location south of the city. Initially managed by the Aero Club Trento since 1987, the airport is managed by Caproni SpA, a company created ad hoc by the Autonomous Province of Trento. Over the years the airport has undergone continuous development both in terms of traffic and services provided. In 2001, the certified night flight system was implemented and then in 2005. In 2007 a DVOR-DME beacon was put into service, followed by the VFR / N flight opening for helicopters. Since 2009, the company has been certified by ENAC as Air navigation service provider for the ATS (AFIS) and CNS (EANC-ASP-008) and designated (ENAC-DES-ATM-008) as the manager of the airspace of its competence. Following the certification and the designation, the AFIS unit of Trento is activated and the ATZ is created. Since 2010, the company has supported airport management with that of the 15 strategic helipads of the Autonomous Province of Trento and the Tonale airfield. In 2013 the opening hours of the airport and the AFIS unit service hours were extended to 24 hours to meet the needs of the PAT Civil Protection Helicopter Unit. In 2014, a helicopter IFR procedure was published. Currently over one hundred aircraft are based on the airport, 2 maintenance workshops, 3 flight schools, the Civil Protection helicopter unit as well as some flight clubs and various private aircraft.
