[6] Torraccia's past users have included Pope Benedict XVI and the Frecce Tricolori,[7][8] who, since 2014, have organised an annual sightseeing flight for disabled children over San Marino and the Province of Rimini.

[12][13] Prior to the airfield's construction, San Marino's only heliport was next to Borgo Maggiore's cablecar terminus, which inaugurated its first postal flights in 1950.

[14] From 1961, Compagnia Italiana Elicotteri operated several daily flights from Borgo Maggiore to Rimini and, from 1964, to San Leo.

[3] On 19 June 2011, Pope Benedict XVI landed at Torraccia's helipad on a pastoral visit to the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro.

[22][19] In February 2013, the Sammarinese government was grappling with a civil case by landowners seeking higher compensation for the land that was expropriated to extend the runway.

[23] Italy does not recognise the validity of ultralight pilot certificates issued by San Marino, and Sammarinese aircraft must be authorised by the Aero Club d'Italia [it] to circulate in Italian skies for up to 90 days.

The notice declared that the airfield's development was "of strategic importance for the improvement and enhancement of the services offered" towards "repositioning San Marino as a tourist destination at an international level".

[33] In July 2007, an ultralight aircraft carrying Italian tourists, arriving from Castiglione del Lago, fell off the runway during an attempt to abort a landing with strong winds.

[34] On 11 June 2010, a Cessna 172 (registered I-SVFD) from Aeroclub Fano did not stop at the end of runway 34 after a failure in its braking system and a gust of wind from the south-west.
