* [[Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport]] — commonly Genoa-Sestri Ponente Airport after [[Sestri Ponente|the city district]] where it is located — is an  [[international airport]] built on an artificial peninsula, {{convert|4|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} west of Genoa, Italy. The airport began construction in 1954 and opened in 1962, at a cost of 12.8 billion [[Italian lira|lira]]. Building an offshore airport was not a strange or unique solution only for [[Genoa]]. Among the most conspicuous examples are other airports in [[Nice]], [[Venice]], [[Gibraltar]], or [[Hong Kong]]. The current terminal building was opened in 1986. It is the most important airport in Liguria and it serves the city and [[Port of Genoa]], as well as a considerable population in Southern [[Piedmont]] ([[Asti]] and [[Alessandria Province]]s, southern areas of [[Cuneo Province]]).
* [[Riviera Airport]], former known as Villanova d'Albenga Airport, is on the [[Italian Riviera]] between [[Savona]] and [[Imperia]], approximately {{Convert|7|km|mi}} west of the town of [[Albenga]], in the community of [[Villanova d’Albenga]]. Riviera Airport is mainly used for [[general aviation]] in the [[Northern Mediterranean]], with international travel and transport facilitated by the presence of Italian Customs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Private Jet Charter {{!}} Air Hire {{!}} Riviera Airport |url=https://www.privatefly.com.de/private-jet-hire/riviera-airport-A2679.html |access-date=2022-03-12 |website=PrivateFly |language=en}}</ref> The airport is also used by the Italian aeroplane manufacturer [[Piaggio Aerospace]]. Riviera Airport is well connected to all financial and tourist centres on the Italian and French Riviera by means of highway A10 and the [[Via Aurelia]] (SS1). While [[Monte-Carlo]] is less than an hour's travel by car, a helicopter company based at the airport can connect passengers from the runway directly to the Principality of [[Monaco]] in less than 20 minutes.<ref>[http://www.ivg.it/2017/07/taxi-aereo-arriva-al-panero-villanova-dalbenga-montecarlo-18-minuti/ Article 6 July 2017 in il vostro giornale] www.ivg.it</ref> The airport opened in 1922.
