After 55 months, with the completion of the Romeo Project, Verona Airport has a new, expanded departures area.
The new departures area cost €90 million
With a total investment of €90 million a new era began for Verona Airport this week with the cutting of the ribbon for the new departures area. The surface area has increased from the previous 24,840 sqm to 36,370 sqm in addition to the renovation of over 10,000 sqm of existing areas. With traffic of 4 million passengers in 2025, an all-time record for the airport, the Catullo can now count on a terminal that will facilitate the significant growth expected in the coming years.
Environmentally sustainable and highly maintainable
The work, carried out with the technical expertise of the Save Group, includes the architectural redevelopment of the check-in hall, new boarding lounges on the first floor, boarding gates that have increased from 13 to 19, three new towers connected by glass and steel walkways, a new state-of-the-art baggage handling system and new security checks with 7 state-of-the-art tomographic machines. The infrastructure has been designed with environmental sustainability, high maintainability and energy saving in mind.
The airport handled 19 million passengers in 2025
The new Shopping Gallery is a key part of the Romeo Project, and the new lounge is reserved for passengers with special travel tickets and frequent flyers, as well as those purchasing an entry ticket. The ground floor on the airside is designed as a comfortable environment for waiting, relaxing or working before boarding. “This is an important day for Catullo Airport, which symbolically delivers the new infrastructure to Verona and the entire territory it serves. Last year we recorded 19 million passengers. In recent years, Catullo has grown significantly in terms of traffic volumes, diversification and the quality of flight operations, and this new terminal is a fundamental step towards better management of the expected further traffic development,” said Gruppo Save’s president Enrico Marchi.
