Milan Bergamo Airport, BGY

Milan Bergamo Airport, located in the centre of Lombardy,

is only 5 km from Bergamo and 50 km from Milan.

After the inauguration of its civil aviation activities in 1972 with the first passenger flight, it became an airport of primary importance from 2003, when Ryanair opened an operating hub here, choosing it as its airport of reference in northern Italy. The arrival of low-cost flights ensured that Milan Bergamo became one of the top destinations in Europe and the Mediterranean area.

The Milan Bergamo Airport is located in the heart of the most interesting

tourist area of northern Italy.

Well-known ski resorts, for the winter season, are located a short distance away; the lakes, for summer, and many important Lombardy's art cities are also found nearby. Due to this fact, Milan Bergamo Airport has seen increasing numbers of passengers each year, who are attracted by the easy access, efficiency of operations and a network of connections to all areas in central-southern Italy and Europe.

The new departure area

It is arranged on two levels and covers a total area of 11,600 square metres and on the upper level offers greater comfort for passengers with areas dedicated to many retail stores and refreshment spaces.

The airport has two VIP lounges: the Check-in Lounge located before the security checks and the new HelloSky Lounge located in airside area, and both welcome areas are equipped with specially designed services for all types of travellers. In HelloSky in particular, a unique experience is offered, a full-service refuge for the traveler who will also have at his disposal a meeting room and the possibility of freshening up thanks to the premium showers in a reserved and clean space before departure. Furthermore, a new service has been activated, the Fast Track Plus, so passengers can use the Check-in Lounge only to carry out check-in operations and subsequently take advantage of the priority passage to security checks through the Fast Track gate, with service active 24 hours, and from here it is possible to reach the boarding area of the terminal faster.

The airport has a functional layout with 14 lanes for security checks and 25 boarding gates, a new “Sala Amica” (special assistance room) for passengers with reduced mobility, and a smokers’ area with patio.
