On Sunday 26 October 2025, Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY) switched to its winter timetable – and it is the largest the Lombardy gateway has ever operated. The schedule, which runs until 28 March 2026, offers 107 direct destinations served by 18 scheduled airlines across 38 countries, a 5 % increase in seat capacity over winter 24/25. Low-cost giant Ryanair bases 22 aircraft (two more than last winter) and now flies 81 routes, reinstating the tri-weekly domestic link to Pescara and boosting frequencies on 30 existing services. Wizz Air continues its Italian expansion with five additional routes, taking its Bergamo network to 15.
Management company SACBO says the beefed-up network was made possible by additional runway slots made available after a five-year taxi-way upgrade project was completed in September. Business travellers gain more same-day return options to key European financial centres such as Frankfurt, Paris, and London, while the ski market benefits from new flights to Krakow and Sofia that feed Italy’s Alpine resorts.
The airport has matched capacity growth with service improvements. A new ‘fast-channel’ biometric corridor trial for non-Schengen passengers reduces average border-control time to below two minutes and is designed to dovetail with the EU Entry/Exit System that entered force earlier this month. To meet corporate sustainability targets, BGY has also become the first Italian airport to power all air-side ground handling vehicles exclusively with renewable HVO bio-diesel.
For global mobility managers the message is clear: Bergamo is consolidating its position as the alternative northern Italian hub for point-to-point traffic and as a reliable reliever for capacity-constrained Milan Malpensa and Linate, giving relocating staff and project teams a wider choice of flight times and often lower fares.
