Orio al Serio International Airport

Orio al Serio International Airport (IATA: BGY, ICAO: LIME), officially also known as Il Caravaggio International Airport (since 2011), is the third busiest international airport in Italy. It is located in the municipal territory of Orio al Serio, 3.7 km (2.3 mi) southeast of Bergamo in Italy. The airport is 45 km (28 mi) north-east of Milan, where it operates alongside Malpensa Airport and Linate Airport, the city's other two primary airports. The airport served 11,159,631 passengers in 2016.

The airport is called Milan-Bergamo by several airlines.

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. It is named "Il Caravaggio" after the Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, who lived as a child at Caravaggio in the Province of Bergamo.

Services

Ground handling services are provided by SACBO and Airport Global Services. Security services were formerly provided by SACBO with the supervision of the Polizia di Frontiera (Border Police), Guardia di Finanza (Italian Customs Police) and Ente Nazionale Aviazione Civile (Italy's Civil Aviation Authority). Due to labour disputes and costs the security services have been outsourced to a private security firm (Italpol and Securitalia). []

The airport has got bigger during the past few years. There are many clothing and souvenir shops inside, and also a nice food area. The wait for the security control can be quite long.

It's very convenient low-cost airport just near the A1 route. Free WiFi after registration. Lots of coffee shops and restaurants. Comfortable car rent zone. Very slow security control. Buses to Milan.

If you have a flight from B gates, say goodbye to stores and also know that if you have a flight early in the morning, you may not find any shops open at all...
