Easyjet expands its presence in Bergamo
According to its own information, the Italian airport of Bergamo was able to achieve around 2021 percent of the traffic volume it had in the same period in 70 in August 2019. The low-cost airline Easyjet launched two new routes at the beginning of this week. So far, the low-cost airline has concentrated on the Malpensa airport in the Milan metropolitan region, where Terminal 2 was used more or less exclusively before Corona, and increasingly also Linate. Bergamo, which is very popular with low-cost airlines, has not really been relevant for Easyjet for some time. This is now changing, as the orange low-cost airline launched a domestic connection to Olbia in May. The destinations Amsterdam and Paris-Charles de Gaulle have now 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 in the French capital the airline flies to the far-flung Beauvais Airport. "It is always a triumph to welcome a new airline to our airport and to see the airline's rapid growth contribute to this success. By the end of October we will also welcome easyJet's connection to London Gatwick, meaning that our new partner will offer no less than 76.000 two-way seats next winter - a significant boost to our network," said Giacomo Cattaneo, Director of Commercial Aviation at Bergamo Airport.
