About Pisa International Airport

Pisa International Airport (PSA), also called Galileo Galilei Airport, is the main airport for Pisa and western Tuscany, Italy, and a common gateway for travelers heading to Florence. It sits on the southern edge of Pisa, about 2 km from Pisa Centrale railway station, and Toscana Aeroporti runs it.

Most flights are short-haul European routes. Ryanair flies the most destinations, across Italy, Spain, the UK and Central and Eastern Europe, while easyJet, Jet2.com, British Airways and Wizz Air add flights to London, Manchester and other cities. Transavia, Norwegian, Volotea, Aegean and Air Arabia serve Amsterdam, Scandinavia, France, Athens and Casablanca, several of them in summer only. The airport handled almost 6 million passengers in 2025.

All flights use one passenger terminal, with arrivals and baggage claim on the ground floor. Schengen gates are on the ground floor and non-Schengen gates on the first floor. The airfield is shared with the Italian Air Force.

From the airport, most travelers head into Pisa for the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli, or continue to Florence, about 85 km (53 miles) east, and to Lucca, the Versilia beaches at Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, and the cruise port at Livorno.

Arrival tips for Pisa International Airport

Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, such as the UK, you go through passport control first, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System.

Pisa has one passenger terminal, so every flight ends in the same place: baggage claim and the arrivals hall are on the ground floor. If a bag is missing, the Lost & Found office is in the baggage claim area, before you leave it.

In the arrivals hall you find Customer Service, the left luggage desk and a currency exchange. Follow the signs for the Pisa Mover to reach Pisa Centrale station, where trains leave for Florence, Lucca and the coast. Buses to Florence and other Tuscan cities leave from the bus area in front of the terminal, and taxis wait at the stand outside arrivals. Car rental desks are in a separate building a short signposted walk away, also reached by shuttle bus. Expansion work at the terminal can change walkways and signage, so follow the current signs.

Italy is on Central European Time and uses the euro.

Ground transportation

The Pisa Mover and train are the cheapest way to Pisa and Florence; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier with luggage or for villas and coastal towns.

  • Pisa Mover to Pisa Centrale

    The automated shuttle train links the airport with Pisa Centrale station in about 5 minutes, running from 6:00 to midnight (to 1:00 from June to September). Buy a ticket at the machines before boarding.

  • Train to Florence and Lucca

    From Pisa Centrale, regional trains run to Florence Santa Maria Novella in about an hour and also serve Lucca and the coast. You change from the Pisa Mover to the train with your luggage.

  • Bus to Florence

    Coaches, including Flibco, leave from the bus area in front of the terminal and reach Florence in about an hour, roughly every 30 minutes in the daytime.

  • Taxi from Pisa airport

    Official taxis wait at the stand outside the arrivals exit and go door to door around Pisa and beyond. A long trip to Florence or the coast costs far more than the train or bus.

  • Car rental

    Rental companies share a separate car rental terminal about 5 minutes' walk away on a signposted path, also served by a shuttle bus.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car meets you in the arrivals hall and goes straight to your address, useful for families, groups, villa stays and late arrivals.
