SACBO S.p.A.

SACBO S.p.A., operating under the alias Milan Bergamo Airport, manages the aviation facilities of Orio al Serio Airport located in Italy. The organisation provides the infrastructure and services necessary for commercial passenger and cargo flights, including runway operations, terminal management, and ground handling. It serves airlines that use the airport as a base for scheduled and charter services, facilitating travel to domestic and international destinations. Its role encompasses ensuring safety, security, and efficient flow of air traffic within the Lombardy region.

As the operator of a major airport in northern Italy, SACBO S.p.A. supports regional connectivity and contributes to the local economy by enabling tourism and business travel. The airport’s proximity to Bergamo and its positioning as a secondary gateway for the Milan metropolitan area allow it to accommodate a growing number of low‑cost carriers. In May 2022 the organisation experienced a distributed denial‑of‑service attack carried out by the pro‑Russian cyber group Legion, which targeted its online presence alongside other Italian institutional and corporate sites. The attack caused temporary disruptions to the airport’s web services but did not affect flight operations, highlighting the organisation’s exposure to cyber threats aimed at critical infrastructure.

SACBO S.p.A. is constituted as a joint‑stock company (S.p.A.) and operates under a concession agreement that grants it responsibility for the airport’s development and maintenance. Its organisational structure reflects a focus on delivering reliable aeronautical services while adapting to the evolving demands of the aviation market. The entity’s involvement in the May 2022 cyber incident underscores the importance of robust information‑security measures for airport operators in safeguarding both digital and operational assets.
