Motorway connections and rapid train terminals are standard features for airports these days. But having your own quay for ferries and water taxis on the other hand is something really special - as special as the city to which this airport belongs: Venice. The airport, located on the mainland this side of the lagoon, is named after the venetian businessman Marco Polo - forefather of all of today's long-distance travellers.

This is not only the centre for the traditional trade and commerce region of Veneto but also the destination for millions of tourists from all over the world every year. The operator company SAVE is enlarging this role even further by expanding the airport with a new 60,000m² terminal.
