The airport is located in Orio al Serio, 3.7 km (2.3 mi) southeast of Bergamo and 45 km (28 mi) northeast of Milan. The airport is part of the airport network of the Milan metropolitan area, alongside Malpensa Airport and Linate Airport. The airport served almost 13 million passengers in 2018 and is one of Ryanair's three largest operating bases, along with Dublin Airport and London Stansted Airport.[6]

Together with Malpensa Airport and Linate Airport, it forms the Milan airport system with 42.2 million passengers in 2022, the largest airport system in Italy by number of passengers.[7]

Overview

edit

The airport is managed by SACBO, a company partially owned by SEA – Aeroporti di Milano, the operator of Linate and Malpensa airports. SEA, the company that runs the latter two airports, also holds a 31% stake in SACBO.[8] The airport has one passenger terminal and two jet-bridge gates.[citation needed]

The terminal is split into two zones, A (Gates A1-A15) and B (Gates B1-B5). Gates A13 and B5 are equipped with boarding bridges; the remaining gates are remote gates.

In March 2021, DHL Aviation announced plans to relocate their hub from Bergamo to Milan Malpensa Airport where DHL opened new logistics facilities.[9] In early 2022, DHL confirmed the end of all operations at Bergamo.[10]

Accidents and incidents

edit
  • On 30 October 2005, Trade Air Flight 729 crashed near Bergamo, Italy, shortly after taking off in poor weather. The flight was a night-time cargo flight from Bergamo to Zagreb operated by a Let L-410 Turbolet with the registration 9A-BTA. All three people on board, two pilots and a passenger, were killed.[59]
  • On 5 August 2016, during the night, Boeing 737-476 (SF) registered HA-FAX, operated by ASL Airlines Hungary, overshot while landing on runway 28 in Bergamo and came to a stop on a parking lot and on a secondary highway lane that is around the airport, 300 m (980 ft) from the runway end. No one was injured, but some cars were destroyed and the plane sustained substantial damages. The plane was removed from the street the same day. The air traffic remained unvaried without delays.[60]
  • On 1 October 2024, four tires of a Ryanair-operated Boeing 737 MAX 8 burst on the runway after landing, forcing the plane to a stop and damaging 450 meters of the runway.[61] Flights were temporarily suspended.[62]

Ground transportation

edit

The A4 is one of the main road networks that links the airport.

There are several public transportation links to and from downtown Milan, including express coaches.[63] There are further connections to/from Bergamo city center, Arezzo, Bologna, Brescia, Monza, Turin, Malpensa Airport, and Milan Trade Exhibition Center, Parma, Torino, and Verona.

Railway

edit

While a railway station is currently being built at Bergamo airport, scheduled to open in 2026,[64] the current nearest railway station is Bergamo railway station, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) away. There is no official shuttle between the airport and the railway station. A bus service operated by ATB connects to the airport, about 10 minutes from the train station.[65]
