This article is supported by the airport project.

The airfield lies 2 miles (3km) to the east of the current Trapani airfield, not 8 miles (13km) to the south of the airfield. Easily verifiable by looking with Google Earth. Also, I would like to suggest a merge-in of the text found on the Italian Wiki page on the airfield (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroporto_di_Trapani-Chinisia). The Italians have a fairly active avation community, but often shy away from posting text on english pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.171.24.168 (talk) 19:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are confusing the current Trapani-Birgi Airport (that is 2 miles est from Borizzo Airfield) with the old Trapani-Milo Airport (that is 13km north from Borizzo Airfield). Not sure from where did you get those distances but they seem correct to me.

1st airport, Trapani-Milo Airport, built in the late 1920's, 2 miles east of the city.
2nd airport, Borizzo Airfield or Trapani-Chinisia Airport 1930's, 8 miles south.
3rd airport, Trapani-Birgi Airport, built in the early 1960's, 8 miles S-S-W from the city.

The article also explains why there is a difference with the name between Italian and English and I suggest to move the article to Trapani-Chinisia Airport that was the official name and move the redirect on Borizzo Airfield.--Sal73x (talk) 20:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
