History


The original Bologna airport was opened in 1933 some 500 metres to the west of the present building.[3] 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.[4]


Transatlantic routes


In June 2005, Eurofly began flying nonstop from Bologna to New York City using Airbus A330s.[5][6] The route lasted until 2008.[7] Over a decade later, direct service to the United States resumed. American Airlines introduced a seasonal link to Philadelphia in June 2019.[8][9] Given Bologna's proximity to Tuscany, the company anticipated that tourists bound for the region would take the flight. However, in August the airline stated that it would not return the following summer, as the financial performance of the route had not met its expectations.[10]

Marconi Express monorail

The airport is about 5 kilometres (3 mi) 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.[18]

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.[19][20] As of February 2022, the issues persists, and normal buses are still integrating the service.[21]


By car


Motorways:


By bus


A shuttle bus service, route Aerobus (BLQ), used to run between the station and the airport before the advent of Marconi Express. In case of events at the Bologna Fiere trade fair venue, BLQ operated a direct connection between the Airport and the bus terminus Fiera Viale Aldo Moro.[23] Route BLQ has been withdrawn as of 18 November 2020, with the introduction of the Marconi Express[24]

The only TPER bus connections available to and from the airport are routes 54, between the Airport and Borgo Panigale; and 944, between the Airport and the Maggiore Hospital, calling at Via della Birra, Via del Triumvirato, Pontelungo, and Santa Viola. Route 944 is extended to Bologna Centrale railway station in its last two departures at 00.15 and 00.45, while its first two departures from the railway station are at 5.20 and 5.30; due to the people mover being yet to begin service.[25]

From the nearby Via della Birra and Via del Triumvirato, it is possible to board suburban routes (also operated by TPER), 81, 81A, 91 and 91A to Longara,Padulle, Bagno di Piano and Calderara di Reno.

The airport has daily direct bus connections with Ferrara, Florence, Modena, Cervia, Ravenna, and Rimini, and three times a week with Ascoli Piceno.


By train


The nearest railway station is Calderara-Bargellino railway station, about 4 km from the airport. However, there is no public transport connection between the two. Passengers coming by rail are expected to change for the Monorail at Bologna Central Station.
