SOUTHOAKCO, in partnership with Barelli MSFS Addons, presents Catania Fontanarossa International Airport (LICC).

Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (IATA: CTA, ICAO: LICC) is the sixth Italian airport for passenger traffic. The Catania-Rome route is the busiest at the national level, with 145 weekly flights, as well as the fourth in Europe.

The history of the airport dates back to the early twentieth century, when a airfield was built for military purposes. Later, in the twenties, an airline service was started between Catania and Palermo. During World War II, the airport suffered severe damage from bombing, but was later rebuilt and expanded to cope with increased commercial air traffic.

In recent decades, it has seen a significant increase in the number of passengers, which led it to become the main airport of the island. In the airport there is the MARISTAELI base of the Navy; moreover, not far from the airport there is the air base of Sigonella.

It is the second airport of the Mezzogiorno after Naples. The traffic of the airport remains in continuous expansion, with numerous scheduled and charter flights favored by geographical location and road links.

The airport is sometimes subject to operational restrictions or temporary closures because of volcanic ash emitted during the eruptions of Etna that can invade the airspace and runways forcing, for safety reasons, to divert flights to other airports in the region.
