Ryanair’s 20 Bergamo based aircraft, 10 of which will be our most enviro efficient “Gamechanger” aircraft (4% more seats, burn 16% less fuel and create 40% less noise emissions), represent an investment of over $2bn, delivering over 100 routes including 9 new Summer routes, supporting 600 highly paid aviation jobs and over 9,5k indirect jobs at Bergamo Airport. Ryanair expect to transport 12.2m passengers to/from Bergamo for the fiscal year 2023 (1.6m more than pre pandemic period) to give Bergamo’s holiday makers an abundance of choice to top European destinations whilst also giving Lombardy’s tourism a much-needed boost after two challenging years.
