TRN after the Winter Olimpic Games of 2006 have a new airport terminal that is actually under utilized with a lot of free space, also there is a large catchment area: Turin city have almost 1 milion people and Piemont region about 4 milion...

TRN in winter is also a popular ski destination near Italian Alps resort like Aosta Valley...
