Venice Marco Polo Airport, the 5th busiest port in Italy, is located near the village of Tessera, 7,6 km east of the town of Mestere. Due to the importance of Venice as an entertainment destination, the airport offers long distance flights, partly seasonal, to the United States, Canada, South Korea and the Middle East, as well as flights to many European countries.
The airport is named after the Italian traveler Marco Polo (1254-1325) and serves as a base for Volotea, Ryanair, Wizz Air and easyJet. The airport terminal has three floors: the ground floor is used for arriving passengers, and the second floor is used for departing passengers. On the third floor of the terminal, there are offices for the operating company and airlines. On the third floor, a special section is reserved for private jet passengers, providing access to meeting rooms and VIP lounges.
The aerodrome is managed by SAVE SpA, a company that is partially owned by the local authorities and also controls the smaller Treviso Airport and is primarily dedicated to low-cost carriers.
The construction of the airport started in 1958 and it was officially put into service in 1961. After the port was established, minor modernization works were carried out and the terminal building, which is still used today, was built in 2002.
