Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport

Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport is about 4 km from the center of Olbia, on the southeast edge of the city, so the drive into town is short. ASPO city buses 2 and 10 run about every 20 minutes from a stop about 50 meters from arrivals, and taxis wait at the stand in front of the terminal.

Porto Cervo is about 30 km north of Olbia airport, usually a drive of 30 to 35 minutes, and up to about 40 minutes on busy summer afternoons around Arzachena. The road passes the turnoffs for Porto Rotondo and the other Costa Smeralda bays. Coaches run in summer, but most travelers go by taxi, rental car or pre-booked transfer.

Yes. Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, Olbia Airport and Costa Smeralda Airport are all names for the same airport, code OLB. It is also dedicated to Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, founder of the Costa Smeralda resort area, so you may see his name on signs or tickets too. It is the main airport for northeast Sardinia.

Olbia has one main terminal, Terminal 1, which handles check-in, boarding and arrivals for all scheduled flights, with 16 gates and five jet bridges. A second building, Terminal 2, opens only in the summer season for charter check-in. All arriving passengers exit through the main terminal's arrivals area, so there is only one exit to look for.

Volotea, easyJet, Ryanair, Aeroitalia, ITA Airways, Neos and Wizz Air fly to Olbia from cities across Italy. In summer, British Airways, Jet2.com, Lufthansa, Eurowings, Condor, Transavia, Norwegian, Swiss, Air France and others add routes from the UK and Europe, Delta flies seasonally from New York JFK, and flydubai flies from Dubai.

Yes. ASPO city buses 2 and 10 run between the airport and Olbia's center about every 20 minutes, from a stop about 50 meters from arrivals. Buy your ticket from the machine in the arrivals area or in the MooneyGo app. Regional coaches from operators such as ARST, Deplano, Sunlines and Turmo Travel serve other towns in Gallura and beyond.

Licensed taxis wait at the taxi stand in front of the arrivals area. Fares are metered at rates set by the city of Olbia, with surcharges at night, on public holidays and for larger groups. In July and August lines can form at the taxi stand when several flights land together, so allow extra time.

Olbia's Isola Bianca ferry port, with sailings to mainland Italy, is a short drive from the airport across the city, and taxis and pre-booked cars go straight to the terminal. Ferries to La Maddalena leave from Palau, farther north along the coast, and Golfo Aranci, northeast of Olbia, has its own ferry port. Allow extra time in summer traffic.

Most car rental companies, including Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Maggiore and Sicily by Car, are in a separate rental building about 50 meters from the terminal, an easy walk from arrivals. Some companies are in the P1 parking lot or the long-stay parking lot, and a few run a shuttle from there, so check your voucher for the exact location.

Yes. The Club Lounge is on the departures pier, renovated in 2024, with a relaxation area, food and drinks. Inside it, the smaller Exclusive Club Lounge opened in April 2024 with table service, Fast Track security and showers. Check entry conditions with your airline or the airport before you travel.

Italy is in the Schengen area, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, while arrivals from outside it, such as the UK or the US, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Geasar runs more than 2,000 spaces in lots open 24 hours a day. Sector C, about 20 meters from the terminal, is for short stays and pick-ups. Sectors A and B are long-stay lots about 50 meters away, in front of departures and arrivals, and long-stay parking can be bought online before you travel.

Yes. Olbia airport is open all year, with the terminal open daily from at least 5:00 to 23:00 and longer hours in summer to match flight schedules. Flights are much busier from late spring to early fall, when most seasonal routes from the UK and Europe operate, while flights to Italian cities run all year.
