At Montichiari 100 million investments to boost cargo activity
With Amazon's arrival, more connections with Europe. A new warehouse for goods has been inaugurated.
The Brescia Montichiari airport is set to receive 100 million euros in investments by 2030, with 30 million already spent, to become a major hub for air cargo transport in Italy and Europe. The airport's management is held by a joint venture, with Verona's Valerio Catullo airport owning 80% and local institutions and economic categories owning 20%.
Amazon has transferred its logistics operations from Malpensa airport to Montichiari, operating four daily flights, six days a week, connecting the airport to its European hubs. A new 4,300-square-meter logistics structure, mainly for Amazon, has been inaugurated at the airport, following an investment of 10 million euros. The airport is expected to play a strategic role in Italy's national airport plan for 2026-2035, focusing entirely on cargo traffic.
