Southend to Milan

Bergamo Airport Milan is the latest destination to be served from Southend, a six times weekly flight starting 25 March. There are no services on a Saturday.

The arrival of Aeroitalia next summer compliments Southend’s existing partner airline and tour operators – easyJet, Balkan Holidays and Santa’s Lapland – and brings the total number of destinations now available from the airport in 2024 to 11.  

John Upton, CEO of Southend Airport, said: "We are delighted to announce this new and exciting collaboration with Aeroitalia, the second largest Italian airline in Italy, bringing near-daily flights to Milan Bergamo. This partnership marks a significant milestone for London Southend Airport, providing our passengers in the east of London and Southeast England with a convenient gateway to the heart of Italian football, fashion and culture in Milan”.

Bergamo, 30 miles from the city, is Italy’s third largest airport in terms of passenger throughput and should not be confused with Milan's Linate International Airport and Malpensa. In 2019 it moved nearly 14m passengers.  Its busiest route is Ryanair from Stansted.

Gaetano Intrieri, CEO of Aeroitalia, shared his enthusiasm about this new initiative stating: "This initiative is the result of hard work, dedication and commitment from the entire Aeroitalia team. We are determined to continue to improve and expand our operations to always offer you high-quality services. We are confident that this new route will become a bridge between cultures, connecting our beautiful Italian cities with the vibrant energy of London".

John Upton is very positive regarding the airport.  “London Southend in just 52 minutes by train from London Liverpool Street or a mere 43 minutes from Stratford (connecting via the Elizabeth Line), before walking only 100 paces to the terminal doors”.

The announcement follows the successful return of multiple routes from Southend Airport as the award-winning airport operates its largest winter schedule in four years.
