Milan Bergamo Airport has a new check-in area with 30 new counters.
A new look for passenger terminal departures
This renovation is part of a wider project for the passenger terminal enlargement works involving the departures area. Due to be completed by the beginning of December 2025, the new area dedicated to security checks will be equipped with latest generation radiogenic machines, currently being built on the upper floor above the check-in area.
30 new “self drop bag” counters
In the new check-in area, 30 new check-in counters have been installed, 22 of which in “self drop bag” mode, which allows the independent checking in of hold baggage. There are also eight traditional counters, in addition to the 34 pre-existing counters (28 traditional + 6 self drop bag), for a total of 64.
SACBO has invested €41 million in the works
Above the two lines of check-in counters two high-resolution LED monitors allow better visibility of the flight overview in real time, with indications of departure times and gates, and allow a 30% energy saving compared to the backlit LCD monitors. The entire check-in area is equipped with stereoscopic sensors to monitor waiting times for check-in operations. For the extension of the eastern section of the passenger terminal, which will be completed in December 2025, the SACBO airport management company has invested €41 million of its own financial resources.
“Speeding up operations and guaranteeing safety and precision”
The opening of the new check-in area was matched by the expansion of the hold baggage X-ray control system (BHS) and, at the same time, road and pedestrian access to the terminal was upgraded. "The enlargement of the check-in area marks a milestone in the airport infrastructure upgrading programme, making reception and accessibility comfortable for passengers and at the same time facilitating staff tasks,- says Giovanni Sanga, president of Sacbo. -The new spaces have been designed to support the technological evolution and digital transformation of check-in procedures, speeding up operations and guaranteeing safety and precision. Within six months the new security controls on the upper level will be a further qualitative leap for our airport, consolidating its level of appreciation among passengers and its role in international air transport.”
