Overview

[edit]

The airport is managed by SACBO, a company partially owned bySEA – Aeroporti di Milano,the operator of Linate and Malpensa airports. SEA, the company that runs the latter two airports, also holds a 31% stake in SACBO.[8] The airport has one passenger terminal and two jet-bridge gates.[citation needed]

The terminal is split into two zones, A (Gates A1-A15) and B (Gates B1-B5). Gates A13 and B5 are equipped with boarding bridges; the remaining gates are remote gates.
