The Aosta airport (LIMW), located at 1,850 ft and surrounded by high mountains, was inaugurated in 1959. It was a private strip serving to national sport aviation. In 1987, airfield facilities underwent some improvements addressed to handle commercial aviation. Albeit this first leap the “Corrado Gex” Aosta airport was still suffering two main limitations: daily operations only were permitted and a too short runway was preventing operations to regional aircrafts having more than 30-seats. Aosta Airport underwent a major renovation program to overcome former constraints. In 2004 Master plan, providing guidance to airport holder for a long term planning of the aerodrome’s facilities has been drawn up. In a first phase (2006-2008) runway has been extended to 1,500 m with consistent rehabilitation of taxiway, strips and safety areas (RESA). Package of Navaids (DVOR/DME, LLZ, GP, NDB) and a special approach lighting system have been installed. Non precision approach IFP, having a 5° steep approach descent gradient, was designed. In a second phase, started in 2008 and about to be accomplished, new passenger Terminal and apron enlargement have been designed.
