The Torino Caselle "Sandro Pertini" airport is the gateway to the city of Turin and to the region of Piedmont, which is part of the rich and technologically-advanced north-west of Italy. It is served by a motorway link that branches from the ring road and by railway to the major Italian and foreign cities. It is just 16 kilometres from the city centre and offers daily links with the main economic and industrial areas of Italy and Europe. 

Inaugurated in 1953 on the land of an ex military airfield, over the years it has undergone various restorations, extensions and renovations, the most impressive of which began in 1989 to prepare the airport for the Italia ’90 World Football Cup and ended definitively in 1994 with the demolition of the old control tower and the inauguration of a new air terminal equipped with six mobile docking stations for passenger access to the aircraft and a large multi-storey car park.

In 2006 the passenger terminal underwent massive restyling for the XX Turin Winter Olympic Games, which enabled the extension of the terminal in order to successfully handle the larger amount of air traffic developed by the world event.
In addition, the new air terminal devoted to business aviation, the BHS building to accommodate the new system for baggage handling and sorting and the new remote check-in area R dedicated to handling groups and charter flight passengers have been developed. The area is approx. 1,700 sq.m in size and has 24 check-in stations.

In 2007 and 2008 Turin Airport received the prestigious international acknowledgement, the ACI Europe Best Airport Awards in the 1 to 5 million passengers class.

SAGAT Turin Airport is a company certified to ISO 9001 since December 2009.

In 2011 the terminal recorded a traffic of over 3.7 million passengers (+4.2% vs 2010).

The airport is built on an area of 296 hectares, the runway is 3,300 metres long, the runway capacity amounts to 28 movements an hour, the airside yard has 32 aircraft parking spaces for commercial aviation, besides the eight for general aviation. The passenger terminal is developed on an area of 58,700 sqm on different levels. Its capacity is over 5,000 passengers/hour with flexibility in the use of the facility. It has 90 check-in desks including 24 at the remote check-in R terminal, 9 security filters, 21 passenger boarding gates and 8 conveyor belts with a capacity of 2,400 bags/hour. Airport operation is guaranteed H24. Other infrastructures are the cargo terminal that occupies over 7,500 sqm and the multistorey car park with over 2,500 spaces, a few metres from the check-in desks.

Turin Caselle Airport serves a heavily industrialised geographical area that tends to internationalise its activities. The Piedmont productive system is characterised by enormous technical capabilities and high technological innovation in all sectors. Industrial investments are among the highest in Italy: over 65% of businesses export their products abroad, over 25% have delocated production abroad. The involvement of Piedmont businesses in the internationalisation processes through direct foreign investments is, according to the data processed by Unioncamere Piemonte, above the national average.
