Opening to early commercial air traffic in 1919 after the First World War had finally come to an end, Valerio Catullo Airport saw a number of expansion programs and refurbishments over the years to keep pace with ever growing passenger numbers.

In 2006 a new arrivals terminal opens its doors to the flying public, a measure that doubled the airport's capacity. The original Catullo building was also enlarged and refurbished to allow for greater departure numbers of passengers to be handled. T1 is the departures terminal and T2 serves as the arrivals terminal.

Among the better known air carriers flying in and out of Verona Airport are Aer Lingus and Air Berlin, Air France and Air Italy, Alitalia and British Airways, EasyJet and Flybe, Germanwings and LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa Regional, Vueling and Wizz Air.
