Siena–Ampugnano Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Siena-Ampugnano) [3] was a small military airfield in Ampugnano, near Siena, in Tuscany, Italy. All employment has been terminated in 2014.[4]
2008 the site has been proposed for a new international airport capable of handling 4 million passengers a year by 2020. Since 2003 the project has met widespread local opposition.[5] [6] Upon request about current status and future of the airport in November 2016 the Siena Comune confirmed by eMail: ″the airport of Siena is not operating″. As of January 2017, the field is mentioned as being operated by Sky Services.[7] There are however indications of rather high rates, opposed to limited levels of service.[8]
During World War II, the facility was known as Malignano Airfield. It was a major United States Air Force Twelfth Air Force base of operations during the Italian Campaign.[9]
The airport resides at an elevation of 634feet above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 1393mx30mm (4,570feetx100feetm).
