Trapani Airport: diversions from Catania, advance booking of ground transport recommended

All news

Due to increased traffic volumes and the rescheduling of numerous flights, passengers are advised to check and book ground transportation services to and from Trapani-Birgi Airport in advance.

Trapani-Birgi Airport (TPS) is currently experiencing a significant increase in traffic volumes due to the rescheduling and diversion of flights to the airport.

This situation is placing considerable pressure on the availability of ground transportation services in and around the airport.

Passengers arriving at Trapani-Birgi are therefore strongly advised to check the availability of ground transportation in advance and, where possible, arrange their transfer before travelling.

In particular, passengers are advised to book or confirm the following services in advance:

  • bus services;
  • car rental;
  • taxis;
  • NCC – private chauffeur services.

Due to the high number of flights currently being handled by the airport, ground transportation providers may not have sufficient capacity to accommodate all arriving passengers without prior arrangements.

Passengers arriving at Trapani-Birgi without having arranged their onward transportation in advance may therefore experience longer waiting times or difficulties in finding an immediately available transportation service.

The Airport therefore strongly encourages all travellers to plan their transportation to and from the airport in advance, checking availability directly with the relevant service providers.

Passenger cooperation is particularly important during this exceptional period in order to ensure the orderly management of passenger flows and help travellers continue their journeys as smoothly as possible.

For further information on available services and transportation options to and from Trapani-Birgi Airport, passengers are advised to consult the airport’s official channels
