Dual-use military and civil airport on the Tuscan coast.

Location
Grosseto, Italy
Grosseto Corrado Baccarini Airport (IATA: GRS, ICAO: LIRS) is a joint-use airport serving the city of Grosseto in the Maremma region of Tuscany, Italy. It functions primarily as an Italian Air Force base — home to the 4° Stormo (4th Wing) — while also accommodating limited commercial and general aviation traffic. The airport is named after Corrado Baccarini, a local politician and historical figure. Its civil terminal handles a modest volume of passengers, with seasonal charter flights and connections operated during peak travel periods. Due to its military priority, commercial flight options remain limited compared to larger regional airports in Tuscany such as Pisa or Florence. Located approximately 2 kilometres from the centre of Grosseto, the airport is well positioned for access to the Maremma coast and the surrounding Tuscan countryside, attracting leisure travelers during the summer season.
Terminals
The airport has a small single civil terminal handling limited commercial and charter passenger traffic alongside its primary military operations.
Getting to & from
The airport is situated approximately 2 kilometres from Grosseto city centre, accessible primarily by taxi and private vehicle.

Gateway to Tuscany's wild Maremma coast and ancient hilltowns

Grosseto Corrado Baccarini Airport, named after Italian aviator Corrado Baccarini, is primarily a military air base of the Italian Air Force located near the Tyrrhenian coast in southern Tuscany. Civilian operations have historically been limited, with the airport serving occasional charter and general aviation traffic. Its setting amid the Maremma regional park gives it a distinctive character far removed from mainstream Italian aviation hubs.

Terminals
  • Civil Terminal — A small, basic terminal facility used for limited general aviation and occasional charter flights alongside the military base operations.
Ground Transport
  • Taxi from the airport gate to Grosseto city centre (approximately 5–10 minutes)
  • Private car hire or pre-booked transfer to Grosseto and Maremma destinations
  • Local bus services connecting Grosseto city to surrounding towns
Nearby Hotels
  • Grand Hotel Bastiani, Grosseto
  • Hotel Lorena, Grosseto
  • Agriturismo La Trappola, Maremma coast
Dining

In-terminal dining options are extremely limited given the airport's primarily military and light aviation role. The city of Grosseto, a short taxi ride away, offers trattorias and cafes serving classic Maremman cuisine including wild boar ragù and local Morellino di Scansano wine. Travellers are advised to plan meals in the city rather than relying on airport facilities.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm any civilian flight availability well in advance, as scheduled commercial service is not routinely offered here.
  • Carry cash as card payment infrastructure at the limited civilian facilities may be unreliable.
  • Grosseto's historic city walls and Maremma Natural Park are easily accessible and worth building into your itinerary.
  • If arriving for general aviation purposes, coordinate with the base authority well ahead of time due to military airspace restrictions.
