NEW CONNECTION BETWEEN MILAN BERGAMO AIRPORT AND KUWAIT CITY STARTING MAY 20, 2026

Jazeera Airways today announced in Kuwait City the launch of a new service to Milan Bergamo Airport, starting on 20 May. The route will be operated three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) using an Airbus A320neo configured with 174 seats. With the addition of Kuwait, the list of countries directly connected to Milan Bergamo continues to grow.

The announcement of the new route was made during a press conference convened by Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, and attended by Amelia Corti, General Manager of SACBO; Giacomo Cattaneo, Director of Commercial Aviation, Marketing & Communications; and Dario Nanna, Commercial Aviation Manager of the company managing Milan Bergamo Airport.

“We are honoured to be the first Italian airport to welcome Jazeera Airways,” said Amelia Corti during the ceremony held in Kuwait City. “The launch of the new route to Kuwait City further expands the network of connections from Milan Bergamo Airport to emerging markets, characterised by a shared willingness to build relationships and help create new opportunities for both destinations. The start of the three-times-weekly service to Kuwait City represents a historic milestone for Milan Bergamo Airport, which is preparing both to welcome incoming passenger flows and to generate traffic towards the new destination. We are confident that our collaboration with Jazeera Airways will be successful and will lead to significant expansion in tourism, culture and commerce in both directions.”

“A prestigious and promising addition to the summer network of connections from our airport, which is shaping up to be full of opportunities,” underlined Giovanni Sanga, President of SACBO. “Above all, it is a sign of the progressive expansion of connections to geographical areas of great interest from a socio-economic, entrepreneurial, educational and cultural exchange perspective. Over the years, we have seen how new destinations have been able to trigger passenger flows attracted by the advantages offered by direct flights. In this regard, multimodal solutions are becoming increasingly important, and Milan Bergamo Airport has planned to equip itself accordingly, in order to ensure fast and comfortable mobility.”

AT MILAN BERGAMO AIRPORT, “OL CASÉL” COMES TO LIFE

At Milan Bergamo Airport, “Ol Casél” comes to life—the first Italian building dedicated to airport services constructed using architectural 3D printing technology. A project that stands as a symbol of innovation and sustainability, blending local tradition with cutting-edge technology.

A Sustainable Innovation Lab

“Ol Casél” was conceived as a service module for the new truck parking area at the Logistic Park of Milan Bergamo Airport. A pioneering work that combines efficiency, comfort, and reduced environmental impact, embodying the concept of “responsible construction”: building better while consuming less.
The initiative is promoted by EDILCO Srl, in collaboration with SACBO S.p.A. (the company managing Milan Bergamo Airport) and WASP, an international leader in architectural 3D printing.
Together, these partners have created a sustainable construction laboratory capable of integrating technical, design, and communication expertise into a single shared vision.

A Living and Participatory Experience

From November 24 to December 19, the construction site was transformed into an “open site,” allowing institutions, stakeholders, schools, and citizens to witness firsthand the 3D printing of Ol Casél’s walls. A unique opportunity to see the Crane WASP architectural 3D printer in action—state-of-the-art Italian technology capable of constructing a building quickly, sustainably, and using natural materials.

A Symbol of Place and Sustainability

The name “Ol Casél” evokes Bergamo’s rural heritage, reinterpreting the traditional countryside gatehouse in a contemporary key.
This dialogue between memory and future makes the project a tangible manifesto of Milan Bergamo Airport’s sustainable transition, contributing to the infrastructure’s ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) objectives.
“Ol Casél” is not just a building: it is a statement of intent, a concrete example of how construction can become education, culture, and shared experience.

A Shared Vision to Build the Future

With this project, Milan Bergamo Airport positions itself as a sustainable and innovative hub, capable of combining infrastructural growth with environmental responsibility. A place that does not merely host the future, but actively chooses to build it. “Ol Casél” is a concrete step toward a future in which building means regenerating, living better, and consuming less.

THE EXHIBITION “THE EMOTIONS OF THE GAMES” AT MILAN BERGAMO AIRPORT

From December 10, 2025, to January 12, 2026, Milan Bergamo Airport is hosting the photographic exhibition “EMOZIONI DEI GIOCHI – CULTURE THROUGH SPORT” in the area in front of Gate A1 in the Schengen departures terminal. The exhibition is part of the project “Itineraries in Lombardy for the ‘Cultural Olympics’”, promoted by Regione Lombardia – Directorate for Culture and organized by FICTS – Fédération Internationale Cinéma Télévision Sportifs within the Cultural Olympiad of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, in collaboration with SACBO.

With this initiative, Milan Bergamo Airport embraces the spirit of the upcoming Winter Olympics and Paralympics, which from February to March will bring hundreds of athletes and their teams, along with thousands of enthusiasts of snow and ice sports, to Lombardy and nearby Trentino.

The photographic exhibition offers a journey through images, emotions, and legendary achievements: the installation pays tribute to Olympic and Paralympic champions from Lombardy and Bergamo, central figures in stories of talent and determination, as well as a visual celebration of the Winter Olympic Games, where the beauty of sport becomes a lived experience.

The project, aligned with the “Three-Year Culture Program 2023–2025” and part of the Cultural Olympiad program of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, aims to promote the Olympic territories and the legacy of the Games, guiding Lombardy’s citizens and local institutions through a path of engagement in the run-up to the Olympics, with an integrated approach across various sectors: sport, culture, tourism, and education.

The opening ceremony featured the participation of Giovanni Sanga, President of SACBO; Franco Ascani, President of FICTS and Member of the “Culture and Olympic Heritage” Commission of the International Olympic Committee; Marco Riva, President of CONI Lombardia; and Marcella Messina, Bergamo’s Councillor for Sport.

They were joined by a delegation of highly decorated athletes:

  • Martina Caironi (3 gold and 4 silver medals across four editions of the Summer Paralympic Games)

  • Oney Tapia (1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals in Paralympic athletics at the Tokyo and Paris Games)

  • Ivan Pelizzoli (goalkeeper for the Italian national football team, bronze medalist at the Athens 2004 Olympics)

  • Mirko Testa (1 silver and 1 bronze in para-cycling at the Paris 2024 Paralympics)

  • Marino Vigna (gold medal in team pursuit track cycling at the Rome 1960 Olympic Games)

  • Claudia Cretti (4 gold medals at the 2025 Para-cycling Track World Championships)

  • Michela Moioli (reigning world champion in snowboard cross and gold medalist at the 2018 Winter Olympics) sent a video message.

“The Olympics and Paralympics are not confined to competitive moments—they represent a heritage of stories and culture,” stated Giovanni Sanga, President of SACBO. “This exhibition presents photographic images, snapshots of the feats that marked the sporting careers of our great champions. Passengers at our airport will be able to admire a selection of photos from the Winter and Paralympic Games, as well as from the Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Our airport offers the best welcome, and we are confident that our newly inaugurated departures terminal—designed with technological innovation and comfort in mind—will also be appreciated. The year 2026 is just around the corner, and we are preparing to experience the great five-ring event, ready to play our part in it.”

“Sport is a global movement in the service of humanity,” emphasized Franco Ascani, President of FICTS. “And Olympism is a lifestyle through which we seek to promote, especially among younger generations, the values embedded in the symbol of the five rings—a symbol that celebrates the indissoluble bond between sport and culture.”

Access to the security area is managed through 9 boarding pass readers. The new departures terminal also includes a 4,300 sqm area on the ground floor, following the expansion of the check-in hall.
