The new boarding area at the international airport of Lamezia Terme in Calabria is already operational for departing passengers.
Record time for a public project
The area of 1,900 sqm consists of a first module with five boarding gates and has been financed with CIS funds of some €200 million for the upgrading of Calabria’s airports. “This is a first important result of what we have to achieve,- said the president of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, - this is the first module of the new Lamezia airport. We have shown that there can be a change of pace in Calabria. Six months to do a major public work, is a record time in Italy I am very happy that Calabria shows itself to be a region of excellence, in Italy it is always very complicated to do public works fast.” 
A new road system and a cycle path
“This is an important moment for Lamezia airport,- said Sacal’s director Marco Franchini, - and it will be even more so when we have completed the new fire station, work on which will begin shortly. In addition we will also start work on the expansion of Greater Lamezia - this is the goal. Also imminent is the construction of the new road system and also a bike path that will originate from the airport and run to Lake La Vota, thus enhancing this part of the coastline that goes from Lamezia to Gizzeria which is one of the most beautiful in our region.”
