Sobre Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport

Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) is the main airport for Bari and central Puglia, in southern Italy. It is named after Pope John Paul II and is still widely called Palese Airport, after the Bari district beside it. It handled almost 8 million passengers in 2025.

Ryanair and Volotea fly the most routes, to cities across Italy and Europe, alongside Wizz Air, easyJet, Transavia and ITA Airways, which links Bari with Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate. Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways and Turkish Airlines connect the airport with their hubs, and in summer United Airlines flies to Newark.

All flights use one terminal, opened in 2005, with arrivals on the ground floor and check-in and departures on the first floor. A walkway leads from the terminal to the airport railway station.

The airport stands on the coast about 8 km (5 miles) northwest of Bari city center, near the A14 highway and the city ring road, and the drive into the center usually takes 20 to 25 minutes. From here, travelers head into Bari's old town and port, south along the coast to Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, inland to the trulli of Alberobello and the Itria Valley, or west to Matera.

Consejos de llegada a Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport

Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, such as the UK, the US, Turkey or Albania, you line up at passport control, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES).

Bari has one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose. Baggage claim and customs lead into the arrivals hall on the ground floor, where you find ATMs, a currency exchange counter, tourist information and the car rental desks.

Official taxis wait outside the arrivals exit, and the AMTAB line 16 bus and the Tempesta shuttle to Bari Centrale stop in front of the terminal. For the train, follow the signs to the railway station, reached on foot by a walkway; allow about 10 minutes to reach the platform. Pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.

Italy is on Central European Time and uses the euro.

Transporte terrestre

The train is the quickest way into Bari; for Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Alberobello or Matera with luggage, a taxi or pre-booked car saves changes.

  • Train to Bari Centrale

    Ferrotramviaria's FR2 line runs from the airport station, reached by a walkway from the terminal, to Bari Centrale in about 20 minutes, every 20 to 30 minutes from early morning until late evening. At Bari Centrale it uses its own building on Piazza Aldo Moro, apart from the Trenitalia station.

  • Tempesta shuttle bus

    Autoservizi Tempesta runs a shuttle from outside the terminal to Bari Centrale in about 25 to 30 minutes, on a timetable set around the flights.

  • AMTAB bus line 16

    Bari's city bus line 16 links the arrivals area with Piazza Aldo Moro by Bari Centrale. It is the cheapest option but makes many stops and stops running earlier in the evening than the train.

  • Pugliairbus coaches

    COTRAP's Pugliairbus connects the airport with Matera and Taranto and with Brindisi and Foggia airports. Departures are few, so check the timetable before you land.

  • Taxi from Bari airport

    Official taxis wait outside the arrivals exit. Trips to the districts of Bari, the port and Bari Centrale run at fixed fares set by the city; longer trips are charged by the meter or agreed in advance.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you in the arrivals hall and drives straight to your address in Bari or along the coast and inland, which suits families, groups and late arrivals.
