Milan Bergamo Airport[1][2] (Template:Comma separated entries), also formerly known as Orio al Serio International Airport, is the third-busiest international airport in Italy.[3] The airport is also officially called Il Caravaggio International Airport after the Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, who originally hailed from the nearby town of Caravaggio.[4]

The airport served almost 17.4 million passengers in 2024 and is one of Ryanair's four largest operating bases, along with Dublin Airport, London Stansted Airport, and Brussels South Charleroi Airport.[5][6]

The airport is located in Orio al Serio, Script error: No such module "convert". southeast of Bergamo and Script error: No such module "convert". northeast of Milan. Together with Milan Malpensa Airport and Milan Linate Airport, it forms the Milan airport system serving the Milan metropolitan area, that with 56.9 million passengers in 2024 constitutes the largest airport system in Italy by number of passengers.[7]

In 2024, Milan Bergamo Airport launched a digital twin initiative to simulate airport operations in real time and support infrastructure planning and emergency management.[8]

Overview

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.[9] The airport has one passenger terminal and two jet-bridge gates.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

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.[10] In early 2022, DHL confirmed the end of all operations at Bergamo.[11]
