Not this week but past weekend, escaped the depressing weather over the Central Europe and landed on the sunny LICG
leaving home, Tatra mountains in the background
Balaton
Croatia
Wind speed doubled every 5k feet and at FL140 it almost aligned with my heading
With the engine throttled back to 1800 RPM still pushing 190 knots ground speed
Naples
LICG
Airtime, including pattern over the island 5:45, fuel burned 145 litres
sunny LICG
Envious as LICG & cousin LICD still in my sights…
Same here. Pantelleria LICG and Lampedusa LICD are on my wish list for long time but somehow it just hasn’t happened yet.
LICG comes highly recommended
100LL is cheaper than at LIRJ, handling is mandatory but paid 51E for everything including 2 nights stay, luckily they haven’t heard about the minimum viable landing fee
Island itself is half empty at this time of year, which IMHO makes it even more attractive.

Interesting. Could you specify? Last time I checked, it was over 4 Euros.
Do they have a trailer and pump for the fuel?
Well, 100LL at LIRJ last time I checked was 4,45, at LICG just over 4
There is a fuel track and they would ask you immediately after landing if you need it
Funny how Elba did some “luxury tax” thing years ago, everybody complained and people stopped going there, and now they have done it via this “Egyptian method” and nobody complains
