Costa Smeralda Airport to Be Renamed in Honor of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV

Honoring Aga Khan IV: Renaming Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport to Preserve His Legacy

Olbia, Italy – In a move to honor the lasting legacy of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, officials have proposed renaming Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport – H.H. Prince Karim Aga Khan IV. The initiative seeks to recognize his pivotal contributions to the development of the region and his enduring impact on Sardinia’s history.

Aga Khan IV, who passed away recently, was instrumental in transforming Costa Smeralda into a world-renowned destination. In 1963, he founded Alisarda, an airline that provided crucial connectivity to the island. His vision later led to the construction of Olbia Airport, which has since become one of the most prestigious international airports.

Beyond his contributions to infrastructure and tourism, Aga Khan IV was widely admired for his generosity, humanitarian efforts, and deep sensitivity. His influence shaped not only Sardinia but also communities worldwide through his philanthropic work.

Local authorities believe that renaming the airport is a fitting tribute to the man who played a fundamental role in shaping the region. “Given his unparalleled contributions and lasting impact, naming the airport after His Highness is not just an honor, but a necessity,” officials stated.

The proposal has already garnered strong support from local leaders and the wider community, highlighting the deep respect and admiration for Aga Khan IV’s visionary leadership. If approved, the name change will serve as a lasting tribute to his legacy, ensuring that future generations remember his contributions to Sardinia and beyond.
