Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport
Summary
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Aeroporto di Bologna-Guglielmo Marconi) is an international airport serving the city of Bologna in Italy. It is approximately northwest of the city centre in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The airport is named after Bologna native Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian electrical engineer and Nobel laureate.
The original Bologna airport was opened in 1933 some 500 metres to the west of the present building. This airport was used until the 1970s, by which time it had become impractically small for passenger numbers and was replaced by the present airport.
In June 2005, Eurofly began a nonstop flight from Bologna to New York City. The airline operated it on a seasonal basis with Airbus A330s. The route lasted until 2008. In June 2019, American Airlines introduced seasonal service to Philadelphia on a Boeing 767. Given Bologna's proximity to Tuscany, the company anticipated that tourists bound for the region would take the flight. However, it had difficulty attracting them and discontinued the route in September 2019.
There is one terminal, which underwent an expansion during 2011–2013. It now covers a total surface 36,100m2, of which 5,500m2 are shopping areas. A new baggage handling system was installed and there are now 24 departure gates, all are bus gates since there are not yet any jetways at the airport.
Bologna airport has one runway, 12/30, made of asphalt; its dimensions are .
The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at Bologna Airport:
The airport is about from Bologna Centrale railway station. Opened in 2020, the Marconi Express monorail connects the airport to Bologna Centrale railway station with a travel time of approximately 7.5 minutes.
Soon after its inauguration, the service started suffering significant disruptions, culminating with its suspension between November 2021 and February 2022, with surreptitious substitution via normal buses, despite oblivious customers paying the full fare for a service they never received.
