Lampedusa Airport.
Lampedusa airport (IATA code: LMP) is the reference point for those wishing to visit the remote Pelagie Islands.

It is a small airport located very close to the main center of the island, so much so that, excluding luggage, it could even be reached on foot (in about 15 minutes; once in the center, you can reach other places on the island by bus). From Lampedusa, you can take a ferry to reach the smaller island of Linosa.

Only six airlines, both domestic and low-cost, operate flights at this airport and most flights are only available during the tourist season.
