During World War II it was seized by the Allies during the Sicily Campaign and used by the United States Army Air Forces as a military airfield. After the war it was turned back over to civil authorities. It underwent modifications in 1950 and 1981. In order to cope with the increasing passengers figures, a new terminal, equipped with 22 gates and 6 loading bridges, opened on 8 May 2007 replacing the old facilities.
