Orio al Serio International Airport (IATA: BGY, ICAO: LIME), officially named Il Caravaggio International Airport, is located in the municipality of Orio al Serio, about 3.7 km southeast of Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy. Although some low-cost carriers refer to it as “Milan/Bergamo Airport,” neither “Milan” nor “Bergamo” is part of its formal name. The airport lies approximately 45 km northeast of Milan and serves the greater Milan area alongside Malpensa and Linate.
The facility is operated by SACBO, a company in which SEA – Aeroporti di Milano (the operator of Malpensa and Linate) holds a significant minority stake (around 31 %). It is named after the Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, who spent part of his childhood in the nearby town of Caravaggio.
In 2024, the airport set a new passenger record, handling 17.3 million travelers—an increase of 8.6% compared to 2023. Traffic was served by 24 airlines operating flights to 158 destinations in 42 countries.
To meet growing demand, SACBO is investing heavily in infrastructure. A € 41 million project is underway to expand the terminal: by spring 2025, a new check-in area with 22 additional desks will be operational, and by November 2025, a significantly enlarged security control zone, a larger duty-free area, and more space for non-Schengen boarding will be completed.
The airport features two runways: runway 10/28, which is approximately 2,937 m long, and a much shorter secondary runway, 12/30, about 778 m in length. Its infrastructure supports a wide variety of aircraft—from small props and regional airliners to medium and large jets, including long-range aircraft.
