The project involves the construction of a non-electrified single-track line approximately 3.4 km long, which will start from the existing line near the Olbia Terranova station and run to Costa Smeralda Airport, where a new station will be built, connected to the airport terminal via a dedicated footpath.

The project also includes the construction of a single-track link to enable connections from the new airport station towards Chilivani as well.

Electrification of the line is planned as part of another investment project.

The project to build a rail link to Olbia Airport is fully funded, including through NRRP funds.
