THE SACBO MEETING APPROVES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2022 AND APPOINTS THE NEW DIRECTORS FOR THE 2023-2025 PERIOD

The SACBO shareholders’ meeting has approved the financial statements and the consolidated group statements 2022, which include the financial statements for SACBO S.p.A. and those of the fully-owned company BGY International Services S.r.l. The financial year closed on a positive note, despite the first months of 2022 were still partially affected by the COVID 19 pandemic and the subsequent changes in the geopolitical and economic situation due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused difficulties and uncertainties due to a rise in energy prices, obstacles to procurement of some raw materials and an increase in financial market volatility. Despite this, air traffic generated by Bergamo airport saw gradual and constant recovery, and data regarding the month of June 2022 was comforting, characterised as it was by the best performance in terms of punctuality on a European level, with the least delays and cancellations. This is a situation that is not so common in Europe, and one that has allowed Bergamo airport to efficiently manage the increase in passenger movement. As a result, ACI World, the global airport association, awarded Bergamo the recognition as the best European airport in the 5-15-million passenger category for its overall performance in 2022, a classification that had previously been awarded for 2021. The periodical study on the level of appreciation among airport users, part of the ASQ programme run by the Airports Council International (ACI) World and involving 300 of the most important airports on an international level, evidence for Bergamo Airport of an overall level of satisfaction of 4.5 (out of a maximum of 5), compared to an average international value of 4.3 and an average European and Italian value of 4.1. In 2022, Bergamo airport once again exceeded the 13-million-passenger level (13,155,806). It is an achievement that has come three years on from the record number reached in 2019, with 13,857,257. 2022 came to an end with an overall figure representing approximately 95% of passenger traffic generated in the year before the pandemic.
