Future
Lugano Airport is increasing its business jets operation, having solved the approach difficulties which arose during the past. Nowadays almost all kinds of mid- and long-range business jets (such as the Dassault Falcon 900-2000 and 7X, as well as Gulfstream series 2, 3, 4 and 5, Global Express, Embraer Legacy and Cessna Citations of all types) are accepted and may perform a full legal landing in Lugano according to JAR OPS.
Lugano Airport is aiming to become a leading regional business jet airport for the Ticino and Northern Italy regions by allowing passengers to avoid the difficulties of traffic congestion and waiting times at larger airports.
The future development includes, a new terminal building instead of the existing one, a new apron layout able to accommodate a larger amount of aircraft, and also a new parking area. The existing runway 01/19 will be extended to 1450m during 2012 and finally to 1600m (project 2014).

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“Self-kindled every atom glows,
And hints the future which it owes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surmise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more surely.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
“To pin your hopes upon the future is to consign those hopes to a hypothesis, which is to say, a nothingness. Here and now is what we must contend with.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
