Florence Airport (IATA: FLR, ICAO: LIRQ), is the international airport of Florence, the capital of the Italian region of Tuscany. It is the second-busiest Tuscan airport in terms of passengers after Pisa International Airport. It serves as a focus city for Vueling. In FlightGear, the airport is well-developed with a range of custom scenery building models.
Runways
Florence Airport has a single runway, and the main taxiway is situated at the end of Runway 5, with an overshoot/holding area at the end of Runway 23. As is common at smaller airports, after landing, planes turn around at the end of the runway, then taxi back down to reach the parking area and terminal. Because of the close proximity of Monte Morello, planes normally take off from Runway 23, thus forcing aircraft to taxi down the runway again to depart.
Terminals
The airport of Florence has dedicated buildings for departures and arrivals: renovated in 1999.
