Historic general aviation airfield serving Palermo since early aviation.

Location
Palermo, Italy
Palermo-Boccadifalco Airport (ICAO: LICP) is a small general aviation airfield located in the western outskirts of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. It serves primarily private aircraft, flight schools, and light aircraft operations rather than commercial scheduled airline services. The airfield has a long history tied to early Italian aviation and military use, and today it operates under the management of ENAC, Italy's civil aviation authority. It is distinct from Palermo's main commercial airport, Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO/LICJ), which handles the bulk of passenger traffic for the region. Boccadifalco functions as a reliever airfield and training base, supporting the local aviation community including aero clubs and charter operations. Its relatively short runway limits it to light and medium general aviation aircraft.
