Turin Caselle Airport
The modern airport occupies a covered area of more than 57 thousand square metres, on three levels, and is characterised by the huge window, offering a view of the runway, that embraces the spacious boarding lounge.
The various floors are connected and there are no architectural barriers, facilitating the passage of people with disabilities, for whom dedicated services are also available upon request.
The spacious waiting areas, the expansion of the commercial areas and the new and improved seating facilities guarantee a high level of service. In addition to comfort, another of Caselle’s strong points is the speed at which the various operations are carried out, a result of the improvements that have been made to the airport’s facilities.
These include the new baggage handling system (BHS), of around 13,800 sqm, equipped with highly sophisticated X-ray control equipment and capable of handling 3,200 baggages per hour, making the operation quicker and easier; the new terminal, located between the railway station and the multistorey car park, which has resulted in less congestion in the departure lounge during the busiest periods, and the increase in the number of hand baggage checkpoints, which has led to the streamlining of security-related operations.
Lastly, Turin also has a new General Aviation terminal for private air traffic. Visually, the structure is very impressive: elegant, but at the same time modern and functional.
