Airport Overview

Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Punta Raisi Airport)（PMO; ICAO: LICJ）is the principal international gateway for Palermo and western Sicily. The airport is located at Cinisi, approximately 35 km west-northwest of Palermo, and serves a mixed passenger and commercial aviation market rather than operating as a dedicated cargo hub. Its logistics value comes from access to Palermo, the wider Sicilian consumer market, tourism-related supply chains, food production, fashion, machinery and time-sensitive imports. Our service team can coordinate airport handling, customs documentation, airline capacity checks and onward trucking, while actual cargo acceptance, cut-off times, operating schedules and available equipment must be confirmed for each shipment.

Key Highlights

Regional international gatewayFalcone–Borsellino Airport supports Palermo and western Sicily, with cargo commonly moving through passenger-aircraft belly capacity or connecting gateways.

Capacity is schedule-sensitiveAvailable freight space can change with seasonal passenger schedules, aircraft type, airline allocation and day-of-operation restrictions.

Island logistics factorAirport-to-mainland trucking, ferry alternatives and connection planning should be assessed when cargo is bound for or sourced from other Italian regions.

Food and time-critical demandSicilian food products, retail replenishment, spare parts and urgent commercial shipments may require priority handling and carefully controlled transit.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Air cargo acceptance: Commercial shipments are subject to the handling agent’s acceptance window, documentation review, security screening and the operating carrier’s booking confirmation.
Import and export handling: Our service team can arrange document pre-checks, export handover coordination, import release follow-up and delivery instructions with the appointed ground handler or airline.
Temperature-sensitive cargo: Advance confirmation is required for pharmaceuticals, seafood, fresh produce and other perishables; do not assume permanent cold-room access, passive-storage duration or temperature guarantees without written acceptance.
Dangerous goods: Acceptance depends on the airline, handling agent, commodity classification, packing instruction, quantity limits and shipper’s declaration. Prior approval is essential.
Customs-controlled cargo: Customs status, bonded movement, transit procedures and storage arrangements depend on the appointed operator and Italian customs requirements. Our team verifies the applicable process before handover.

Facility names, warehouse areas, opening hours, handling equipment and special-storage capabilities are operational details that may change. Our service team confirms them against the booking, commodity and current handling instructions rather than relying on generic airport descriptions.

Routes & Transit Times

For European shipments, routing may use direct passenger-aircraft capacity when available, subject to the airline’s cargo acceptance policy and aircraft configuration.
For long-haul destinations, cargo may be routed through an Italian or broader European gateway before onward uplift. The connection point is selected according to capacity, handling requirements and final destination.
Urgent consignments should be quoted on a confirmed routing rather than an airport-to-airport estimate, because island connectivity, transfer cut-offs, weekend handling and missed-connection recovery can materially affect delivery.
Our service team checks booking confirmation, cargo cut-off, security status, transfer requirements and final-mile delivery before presenting a transport plan; schedules and transit times remain subject to actual airline confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland: Palermo and western Sicily, with onward distribution planning required for inland Sicilian destinations and mainland Italy.
Food and perishables: Seafood, fresh agricultural products, specialty foods and temperature-sensitive ingredients may require rapid acceptance, suitable packaging and pre-arranged delivery.
Retail and tourism supply: Apparel, consumer goods, hotel supplies, promotional materials and seasonal replenishment are typically sensitive to schedule reliability and local delivery windows.
Industrial and technical cargo: Machinery parts, electrical components, maintenance spares and urgent project shipments benefit from dimensional checks, clear commodity descriptions and pre-alerted customs documents.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Obtain the confirmed cargo acceptance and document cut-off from the operating carrier or handling agent. Passenger flight departure time is not the cargo handover deadline.
Export documents: Prepare a commercially consistent invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, exporter and consignee details, customs data and any product-specific permits before booking finalisation.
Regulated cargo: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, perishables, medicines, high-value goods and oversized pieces require advance commodity screening and written acceptance; standard cargo assumptions do not apply.
Customs and delivery: Incorrect tariff data, missing origin information, valuation issues or inspection requests can delay release. Our team coordinates broker instructions and ground delivery, but authorities and operators retain final control.

Shipping Tips

Send our service team the commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, stackability, temperature range and final delivery postcode before requesting a routing.
For perishables and pharmaceuticals, use validated packaging where required, identify the acceptable temperature excursion, and arrange delivery and recovery procedures before cargo acceptance.
For dangerous goods or lithium-battery shipments, provide the correct UN information, packing details, safety documentation and shipper’s declaration for pre-approval.
Compare a direct or near-direct solution with a mainland European gateway, considering total transit, handling transfers, customs responsibility, trucking and resilience during peak periods.
