SACBO MEETING APPROVES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2023

The 2023 financial year reflected the consolidation of Bergamo airport’s competitive position on a national and international level, confirming the stability of its third-place position behind Fiumicino and Malpensa.

The excellent results obtained by the Group allowed the negative impacts caused by the series of events between 2020 and 2023 to be absorbed, particularly with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, international geopolitical instability caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine crisis, growing inflation due to the energy crisis and the consequential increase in interest rates implemented by the central banks.

SACBO PRESENTS EXPANSION WORKS FOR THE PASSENGER TERMINAL

During a ceremony, SACBO presented the expansion works for the passenger terminal, which will involve the departures area and will see the creation of a new check-in hall, the redesigning of the security controls area, with latest-generation X-ray equipment, and the enlargement of the non-Schengen departures area, with the creation of two new boarding gates.

SACBO has invested EUR 41 million of its own resources, assigned via a call for tender, for the project, which is due to see the new check-in area operational by spring 2025, offering 22 additional check-in desks, and the rest of the works completed by November 2025. On termination of the operation, the eastern section of the passenger terminal will have an additional 3,720 m2 on the ground floor, allowing expansion of the check-in area and of the X-ray system for checking hold baggage (BHS). The first floor will be expanded by 7,400 m2 for the security controls area, with 14 type-C3 stations for the analysis of hand-luggage content without requiring passengers to remove either computers and other electronic equipment or liquids, as well as a new duty-free area (expanded from the current 600 m2 to 1,600 m2) and extra space for non-Schengen boarding.
