In northern Italy’s autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a railway station built to serve Trieste Airport near the commune of Ronchi dei Legionari was officially opened. (Ronchi dei Legionari is 19 miles [30 kilometers] northwest of Trieste, a major seaport and the capital city of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.) Those attending the inauguration of Trieste Airport railway station included Debora Serracchiani, president of Friuli-Venezia Giulia; and Maria Grazia Santoro, deputy regional councillor for transport and mobility.

This station is located along the Venice-Trieste railway line, which dates back to 1897 and covers a total of 95 miles (153 kilometers). Trieste Airport railway station is served by various express, intercity, regional, and high-speed trains on a daily basis. In addition, a 16-bay bus facility and a total of 1,500 automobile parking spaces are both located near the station. This station is connected to the airport via a 1,394.4-foot (425-meter)-long footbridge.
