The first official documents citing the airfield of Ronchi dei Legionari date back to 30 November 1935, when the 4th Fighter Wing of the Royal Italian Air Force was based here. Commercial operations officially began on 2 December 1961. In 2007, the airport was dedicated to Pietro Savorgnan di Brazzà, a 19th century explorer with Friulian origins. In 2016 the airport was officially renamed Trieste Airport. In recent years[which?], the airport has witnessed growth in low-cost and cargo traffic.[4]
The airport is owned and operated by Aeroporto Friuli Venezia Giulia SpA, a jointly owned company controlled by F2i and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia government.[citation needed]
