Getting to Sicile

Sicile is well-connected for international travellers, making it a convenient destination for UK corporate groups. The island is primarily served by two international airports: Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) on the east coast and Palermo Falcone Borsellino Airport (PMO) on the west. Both offer direct flights from major UK airports, particularly during peak seasons.

Whilst internal rail connections are available, offering scenic routes between major cities like Palermo, Catania, and Syracuse, many prefer to utilise the comprehensive road network. Hiring private coaches or cars is a popular and efficient way to explore the island, especially for reaching more secluded venues or for organised team excursions.

Within Sicile’s main cities, local bus networks are extensive, and taxis are readily available. However, for corporate events, pre-arranged transfers from airports and between venues are highly recommended to ensure seamless logistics and delegate comfort.
