Venice Marco Polo Airport (IATA: VCE, ICAO: LIPZ) is an airport located on the Italian mainland near Venice, Italy, in Tessera, a frazione of the commune of Venice nearest to Mestre. The airport was named after the Venetian traveller Marco Polo, who is considered the European rediscoverer of China.

With 7,076,114 passengers having passed through the airport in 2007, it is the fourth largest Italian airport in terms of air traffic. In 2008 the amount of air traffic has increased by 2%[1]

A modern terminal, opened in 2002 but already close to its full capacity, hosts all scheduled and charter flights, including some long-haul connections by Air Transat, Delta Air Lines, Emirates Airline, Skyservice and US Airways.

The airport is managed by SAVE S.p.A., a company partially owned by local authorities which also controls the smaller Treviso Airport, dedicated mainly to low-cost carriers. The stock is traded on the Borsa Italiana (Milan Stock Exchange).

The airport is connected to the nearby railway station of Venice-Mestre and to the bus terminal of Venice-Piazzale Roma by scheduled bus services, and to Piazza San Marco by water taxi.
