Italian aviation institution anniversaries

Overview

Italian aviation institutions continue to mark significant historical milestones through public celebrations and commemorative events.

The Aero Club Milano, founded in 1926, held a centennial celebration at Bresso Airport featuring air shows, drone demonstrations, and hangar tours. In Forlì, the Luigi Ridolfi Airport is commemorating its 90th anniversary, marking its inauguration on September 19, 1936.

Following a historical walk in the Ronco district, the Luigi Ridolfi Airport held its official public celebration on September 27. The large-scale event drew between 9,000 and 10,000 attendees and featured displays of historical aircraft, including the Caproni Ca. 3 I-Zana, the Spad S. XIII I-Jona, and the Fokker Dr. I M I-Lync. The celebration included exhibitions by the Arma Aeronautica di Forlì association, workshops, and family activities. During a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Forlì Mayor Gian Luca Zattini emphasized the airport’s vital connection to the local territory. Management noted the facility’s economic impact, stating it currently employs 400 people across 25 different companies.

Additionally, the Amerigo Vespucci Airport in Florence is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking the resumption of regular line services to Milan on September 15, 1986. Since that time, the airport has expanded its international reach to cities including Paris, London, and Munich. Following a growth trend where passenger numbers reached three million in 2023, Toscana Aeroporti has established a target of 4 million passengers for the year 2026.
