Airport Bike Friendly

Milan Bergamo Airport was the first airport in Europe to obtain the Cycle Friendly Employer certification on December 15, 2021.
This important recognition was renewed on December 12, 2024, with the GOLD level, highlighting the great work carried out by SACBO S.p.A. in promoting increasingly sustainable mobility, in line with the goals of the 2030 Agenda.

The certification rewards the commitment to creating the conditions for the entire community surrounding the airport to use and promote cycling—not only airport workers, but also travelers, both Italian and international, who increasingly seek infrastructure and services that allow them to move in an integrated way, combining different sustainable modes of transport.

To meet these needs, Milan Bergamo Airport has set up a dedicated route inside the terminal for passengers traveling with their own bicycle, and has built a bike room equipped with everything needed for assembly and maintenance.
From the terminal, it is also possible to access the cycling route that runs along the entire airport perimeter and connects the airport to the city of Bergamo and to the main national and international cycling routes. Among these are the Bergamo-Brescia Cycle Route, inaugurated for the Italian Capital of Culture 2023, the Musica nel Vento Cycle Route, the AIDA Cycle Route, and the Sun Route (Ciclovia del Sole).

The CFE (Cycle Friendly Employer) certification officially recognizes companies that have created a cycle-friendly environment. It is a European protocol promoted by the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) and, in Italy, managed by FIAB – Federazione Italiana Ambiente e Bicicletta.
The evaluation is based on an audit that considers over 50 criteria divided into six categories, resulting in a final score.

SACBO had already obtained this certification in September 2021, becoming the first Italian company and the first airport operator in Europe to reach this milestone.
With the renewal in December 2024 and the upgrade to GOLD level, Milan Bergamo Airport confirms its position as a national and international benchmark for welcoming cycle tourists and for the development of environmentally friendly mobility.
