If you want to go to Salerno anyway, it makes zero sense to make an intermediate stop to clear customs/immigration. Do it at Salerno.
But do get PPR at least 48h in advance, as per the AIP. That is the single most important thing to do when flying to „airports“ is Italy.
Oh, and I see there is some weird NOTAM, saying, as I understand it, that parking is restriced to max 48 hours. Sounds strange, but in Italy you never know…
You can try with Foggia (LIBF).
It’s a small airport north of Bari and has Customs and AVGAS (according to AIP).
Never been there, but it should be a small and cool airport. So you can avoid all the crown in Bari or Brindisi.
on the way from Skopje to Italy (Salerno) I need a schengen entry point am I right?
Yes you need an airport with Immigration and Customs for both leaving the schengen zone and returning to it (Macedonia is non EU). Italy has quite a few; check the AIP for the conveniently placed ones. Avgas is harder…
Salerno should have customs. Otherwise Bari.
Hey everyone,
Planning a 9 day trip starting from EDTG in Germany and proceeding via Portoroz – Brac – Sarajevo – Skopje – Salerno – Elba and back to EDTG. We’ll have to do customs at Portoroz when leaving the Schengen zone to Brac.. but on the way from Skopje to Italy (Salerno) I need a schengen entry point am I right? Any advise on a suitable entry point in Italy with Schengen customs when arriving via Brindisi FIR?
thanks!
