Venice Marco Polo Airport is the international airport of Venice, Italy. It is located on the mainland 4.3NM north of the city in Tessera, a Frazione of the Comune of Venice nearest to Mestre. Due to the importance of Venice as a leisure destination, it features flights to many European metropolitan areas as well as some partly seasonal long-haul routes to the United States, Canada and the Middle East. With 9,624,748 passengers having passed through the airport in 2016 and over 90,000 aircraft movements, it remains the fifth busiest airport in Italy. The airport is christened after Marco Polo and serves as a base for Volotea and easyJet.
There is another airport located in the Venice area, Treviso Airport, which is sometimes unofficially labelled as Venice-Treviso and mostly serves low-cost airlines, mainly Ryanair and Wizz Air.
