Bologna Airport Transfers

Bologna Airport Transfers

Bologna is the largest city in the Emilia-Romagna region and the Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Aeroporto di Bologna-Guglielmo Marconi) is the main airport servicing this region. Close to 6 million passengers pass through Bologna Airport (BLQ) annually, making it the seventh busiest airport in Italy.

The airport is named after the famous Guglielmo Marconi, a native of Bologna. Main stream airlines as well as low-cost carriers operate from Bologna Airport, connecting passengers to 75 international destinations, 12 domestic cities and 6 intercontinental destinations.

Bologna Airport

BLQ is located about 6 km to the northwest of Bologna town centre and a new people mover, the Marconi Express, is being built to provide quick link between the airport and Bologna Central Station. Meanwhile, there is a regular shuttle express from the airport to Bologna Central.

As the air hub for the Emilia-Romagna region, there are also direct shuttle services from Bologna Airport to Ferrara, Modena, Siena, Florence and other Italian cities.

When this new and modern monorail or people mover is completed, air travellers will be able to travel the 5 km from Bologna Airport to Bologna Central Station in 7 minutes 20 seconds, with an intermediate stop in Lazzaretto.

The final design was approved in February 2012, but at this stage there is no indication of completion date.
