Milan Bergamo Airport will add a range of new routes, additional frequencies and capacity increases across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East during the upcoming 2026 summer season, from 29 March to 24 October, resulting in an additional 1.3 million seats compared to last year.
Starting 29 March, Wizz Air launches a new service to Skopje, operating four weekly flights, while a day later, the carrier will introduce flights to Oradea, scheduled twice per week.
On 31 March, Ryanair will introduce flights to the Greek island of Lemnos, operating three times per week, alongside a twice-weekly service to Rabat, expanding the airport’s connectivity with Morocco. On the same day, Wizz Air will also launch a new three-weekly service to Tirgu Mures, further strengthening Milan Bergamo’s links with Romania.
The expansion continues into April with Norwegian Air Shuttle launching flights to Billund on 2 April, operating twice weekly. Further additions will follow later in the season. On 20 May, Jazeera Airways will introduce a new three-weekly route connecting Milan Bergamo with Kuwait City, while on 19 June, GP Aviation will launch a twice-weekly service to Prishtina.
In addition to these new routes, the airport will facilitate increased capacity during April and the first half of May to accommodate the surge in travel during the Easter and Labour Day holiday periods. During this time, several airlines will introduce additional flights and deploy extra capacity on selected routes.
These include three weekly flights by Ryanair to Reggio Calabria, as well as two weekly services by Qanot Sharq to Urgench and Tashkent. Additional capacity will also be deployed by Ryanair across several domestic and international routes from Milan Bergamo Airport, while Wizz Air will increase frequencies to Bucharest and Tirana during this period.
Over the Summer 2026 season, Milan Bergamo Airport will offer travellers over 13.2 million seats on scheduled air services, an increase of 11.5% compared to the previous year. During this period, Milan Bergamo Airport will offer the most flights to Spain, Poland and Romania among international markets.
Giacomo Cattaneo, Director of Commercial Aviation, Marketing & Communications at SACBO, said: “We are very pleased to present our Summer 2026 schedule, which reflects the continued confidence airlines place in Milan Bergamo and the strong demand for travel from northern Italy. Over the past several years, Milan Bergamo Airport has undertaken significant infrastructure upgrades, including improvements to passenger facilities, apron capacity and operational areas. These investments ensure that the airport is fully prepared to accommodate the anticipated increase in flights and passenger volumes during the summer season, while continuing to provide a high level of efficiency and service for both airlines and travellers.”
