Crotone‑Sant’Anna Airport (IATA: CRV, ICAO: LIBC) is a small public airport serving the city of Crotone and surrounding areas in the Calabria region of southern Italy. The airport is located in the territory of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, approximately 15 km south of Crotone along the SS 106, at an elevation of 159 m above sea level. It provides an important gateway for both residents and tourists visiting eastern Calabria and nearby coastal areas.
Originally operated by Aeroporto Sant’Anna S.p.A., the airport went through bankruptcy proceedings in 2015, which cast uncertainty over its future. However, it did not close permanently. In 2017, management was transferred to Società Aeroportuale Calabrese (S.A.Cal.), and commercial operations resumed. The airport has since undergone upgrades to its facilities to accommodate passenger services, safety standards, and general aviation operations.
Crotone Airport has a single asphalt runway measuring 2,000 m in length and 45 m in width, suitable for small to medium jets and regional airliners. It supports a mix of scheduled domestic flights, seasonal charters, and business aviation. In 2024, passenger traffic grew by approximately 20%, with the airport handling close to 300,000 passengers, reflecting the region’s increasing connectivity and tourism demand.
The airport continues to serve as a vital transport link for the province of Crotone, facilitating travel to other major Italian cities and supporting local economic development. With ongoing infrastructure improvements and steady growth in passenger numbers, Crotone‑Sant’Anna Airport remains an essential hub for Calabria’s aviation and tourism sectors.
