Trieste – Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (TRS)
Ronchi dei Legionari: the gateway to Friuli, the Karst and the Slovenian border.
Overview
Trieste – Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (IATA: TRS, ICAO: LIPQ) is at Ronchi dei Legionari, between Monfalcone and Gorizia, 40 km from central Trieste and 130 from Venice. 2025 was its record year: 1,651,702 passengers, up 25% on 2024 and a third consecutive record, with 27 direct routes and international traffic passing 770,000 passengers, 47% of the total. It serves a catchment of some four million people reaching beyond Friuli into Slovenia, Austria and Croatia, and it is the only Italian airport with its own railway station on site, linked to the terminal by a footbridge. The train is convenient with hand luggage; with suitcases, in a group, or for an address that is not next to a station, a private transfer is the direct answer: Aquileia in eighteen minutes, Grado in half an hour, Trieste in forty along the descent from the Karst that opens the view over the gulf.

Where to find your driver
After baggage reclaim you come out into the arrivals hall, where your Venice Private Transfers driver waits with a board showing your surname. We track the landing time, and waiting is included up to 60 minutes after actual touchdown. For dawn departures — of which this airport has several — we agree the pick-up the evening before.
