    I don't think that is quite correct. I have flown personally from at
    least two airports; There is an airport in Pisa (PSA - Galileo Galilie )
    which is close to Pisa centre and has a rail station connected to it and
    there is also an airport in Florence (FLR - Peretola) which is
    reasonably close to the centre of Florence, so I am not sure what you
    mean. FLR has flights with Alitalia, Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss,
    Meridiana and other. PSA has flights from Alitalia, Ryanair and others.

    read on:

    .... F100s on ACMI and charter flights. Three of its aircraft already
    are on wet-lease with Swiss International Air Lines. Helvetic’s
    scheduled routes to Brindisi, Catania, Lamezia Terme, Palermo and Jerez
    de la Frontera will be closed this fall.

    Surely the OP was planning on flying on one of those "wet lease with
    Swiss" flights?
