Airport History
The airport began as a regional airfield serving the Bergamo area and gradually expanded into a much larger commercial airport as low-cost carrier traffic grew in Italy and across Europe. Its development reflected the broader rise of secondary airports supporting dense intra-European travel.
As passenger demand increased, the airport added and modernized terminal facilities to handle higher traffic volumes and faster passenger throughput. This transition was closely tied to the growth of low-cost operations, which reshaped its route structure and operating model.
The airport’s runway and airside infrastructure were also adapted over time to support more intensive scheduled service. These changes allowed it to move from a primarily regional role into one of the most important point-to-point airports in northern Italy.
