Lugano Airport (IATA: LUG, ICAO: LSZA)[a] is a regional airport located 4 km (2.5 mi) west of the Swiss city of Lugano, approximately 80 km (50 mi) north of Milan, in the municipalities of Agno, Bioggio and Muzzano.
[4] In the early 1980s, the airline Crossair decided to invest in the airport, establishing connections between Lugano and various European cities.
[4] After the demise of Adria Airways in September 2019, which operated the route to Zürich Airport on behalf of Swiss International Air Lines, Lugano lost its sole year-round scheduled service as Swiss will refer its passengers to train services in the future without resuming the flights.
[7] In April 2020, the company behind the airport serving Lugano, Switzerland opted to put itself into liquidation after the COVID-19 pandemic destroyed air traffic at the location.
[14][15][16] A shuttle bus connects the airport with Lugano railway station and city centre, meeting most scheduled flights.
