According to its own information, the Italian Bergamo Airport was able to achieve around 2021 percent of the traffic volume that it had in the comparable period of 70 in August 2019. The low-cost airline Easyjet launched two new routes earlier this week.

So far, the low-cost airline in the metropolitan region of Milan has concentrated on the Malpensa airports, where Terminal 2 was used more or less alone before Corona, and increasingly also Linate. Bergamo, which is very popular with lowcosters, has not really been relevant for Easyjet for a long time.

That is changing now that the orange low-cost airline already started a domestic connection to Olbia in May. Now the destinations of Amsterdam and Paris-Charles de Gaulle have been added. There is no direct competitor on either route, as the Ryanair subsidiary Malta Air offers the destination Eindhoven in the direction of the Netherlands and the far-off Beauvais Airport in the French capital.

“It is always a triumph to welcome a new airline to our airport and to see the airline's rapid growth add to this success. We will also be welcoming easyJet's London Gatwick connection by the end of October, which means that our new partner will offer no fewer than 76.000 two-way seats next winter - a significant boost for our network, ”said Giacomo Cattaneo, Director of Commercial Aviation at Bergamo Airport.
