Key Figures

Operating performance

2025 was a year of growth and consolidation for Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport, which welcomed more than 11.1 million passengers, up 3.4% over 2024.

The investments of more than Euro 51.9 million - in addition to Euro 4.4 million in provisions for the renewal of airport infrastructure - have supported the creation of new spaces, more efficient services and modernised infrastructure, such as the new multi-storey car park with 1,000 new parking spaces already in operation and the upgrading of the security area with eight new, faster and betterperforming x-ray machines. These works are preparatory to the broader Airport Expansion project, which shall be rolled out over the new 2027-2030 regulatory period, currently being initiated with ENAC, as well as the parallel adoption of the funding strategy for the related investment plan.

Aeroporto di Bologna reports consolidated revenues of Euro 181.4 million for 2025, up 9.2% on 2024. Revenues from aeronautical services rose (4.2%) due to growth in passenger traffic and increased unitary rates for passenger fees and security. Revenues from non-aeronautical services were up 1.5%, with varying performances among the business lines. In particular, passenger services saw a contraction due to the temporary closure of the Business Lounge for redevelopment work. The lounge reopened in September under sub-concession to a specialised operator following its transfer from direct management.

Costs overall rose 14.4% on 2024. In particular, costs for construction services rose 29%, as did the related revenues, due to the higher investments made. Personnel costs also increased (+8. 4%), mainly due to the expanded headcount and the renewal of national collective bargaining agreements, in addition to Service costs (+11.7%), due to both the higher level of traffic and the increase in infrastructure managed, alongside the rise in overheads (professional and consulting services, advertising, promotion and development, statutory boards).

The Gross Operating Margin (EBITDA) in 2025 totalled Euro 54.5 million, compared to Euro 55.1 million in 2024.

Aeroporto di Bologna thus reports in 2025 a consolidated profit of Euro 24.8 million, increasing on Euro 24.4 million in 2024 (+1.7%).

Traffic

2025 was a year of growth and consolidation for Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport, within a complex macroeconomic and geopolitical environment - although one in which demand for air mobility continued to demonstrate resilience. Our airport welcomed more than 11.1 million passengers, up 3.4% over 2024, maintaining 7th place nationally and 4th in terms of cargo volumes handled. An ever-growing network - 122 direct destinations, four more than the previous year - has further strengthened the airport's international connectivity, confirming Marconi's role as a vibrant and dynamic gateway for the surrounding areas. International traffic continues in fact to be the main component - up 3.7% - while the load factor rose to 84.5% from 83.4% in 2024, indicating the robustness of demand and our airport's ability to meet the mobility needs of citizens, businesses and visitors.

Analysing the performance of the airlines, Ryanair is confirmed as the leading airline at the airport with 54.1% of total traffic, followed by Wizz Air (10.1%), up 12.2% on 2024. The leading legacy airlines are among the top ten at the airport, confirming the wide range of carriers operating at Bologna Airport.

In 2025, 122 destinations were directly reachable from Bologna, increasing on 2024.

The cargo segment in 2025 was impacted by the significant macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty: against declining consumption and a stagnating economy, the segment was affected by the difficulties from the introduction of tariffs on cargo transport, resulting in a fluctuating performance. The Group in 2025 reported cargo and mail traffic at Bologna of 53,720,308 KG, decreasing (-4.7%) on 2024, mainly due to a sharp decline in ground freight (-10.4%), which was mainly due to the above outlined uncertainty. Air cargo also contracted, although to a lesser extent, due to a slowdown across all components (courier, all cargo and combi). The macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties have heightened since the end of February 2026, generating further downward pressure and making predictions difficult.
