Vicenza Airport, officially Vicenza “Tommaso Dal Molin” Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Vicenza “Tommaso Dal Molin”) (IATA: VIC, ICAO: LIPT), was an airport serving Vicenza, Province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. It was one of three airports in the Province of Vicenza, along with Asiago Airport and Thiene Airport. Classified as a city airport because it was only 3 kilometres (1.86 mi) northwest of the city center, it remained in operation from 1921 until 2008, when it was closed to all air traffic for the construction of a base for the United States military, the second such base in the Vicenza area. The runway was demolished in 2009,[2] and as of 2016 a public park is being designed for the former airport grounds.[3][4] The new U.S. Army Caserma Del Din ("Del Din Barracks") opened on part of the former airport's grounds in 2013.[5]
