AEROPORTO GUGLIELMO MARCONI DI BOLOGNA S.p.A.: the Board of Directors approves the Group Q3 2025 Results.
Bologna, November 13th, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., chaired by Enrico Postacchini, approved today the Group Q3 2025 Results.
"The results of the first nine months of the year confirm a solid performance, in line with expectations. After six consecutive months with over one million passengers and figures exceeding forecasts, traffic growth experienced a slowdown during the summer season, mainly due to the impact of ongoing construction works on the airport's maximum capacity, while at the same time confirming the strength of demand – commented Nazareno Ventola, CEO and General Manager of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna. – In this context, our priority remains the progress of the infrastructure investment plan, whose first positive effects have already begun to be seen in recent months in terms of service quality, with targeted actions aimed at increasing capacity and progressively improving the overall passenger experience."
In the first nine months of 2025, traffic trends benefited from the solid growth achieved in the first half of the year, progressively stabilising from the end of the second quarter at levels substantially in line with those recorded in the previous year.
In the January–September 2025 period, 8,539,797 passengers passed through the airport, up 2.4% compared to the same period in 2024. Movements totalled 64,804 (+1.3%), while cargo traffic amounted to 39,884 tonnes, down 5.6% compared to 2024.
The average load factor improved to 84.7% in the first nine months of 2025, compared to 83.7% in the same period of 2024.
The traffic mix remained stable and substantially unchanged: legacy flights and low-cost flights increased by 2.9% and 2.0% respectively. From a geographical perspective, domestic traffic grew by 1.6%, while international traffic increased by 2.6%, mainly driven by the extra-EU component.
In the January–September 2025 period, consolidated revenues reached 131.3 million euro, an increase of 10.6% compared to 2024.
{1}------------------------------------------------

Specifically, as a result of the positive traffic trend, revenues from aeronautical services grew by 3.4%, amounting to 56.9 million euro. Revenues from non-aeronautical services reached 42.9 million euro (+1.6% vs. 2024), while revenues from construction services recorded a significant +43.3% increase compared to 2024, thanks to higher investment activities.
Costs, totalling 89.4 million euro, increased by 16.9% compared to 2024, mainly due to construction service costs (+43.3%), also linked to higher investments made, as well as service costs (+10.8%) – including maintenance and professional services – personnel costs (+8.3%), and other expenses related to higher traffic volumes.
As of September 30th, 2025, EBITDA stood at 41.9 million euro, substantially unchanged (- 0.6%) compared to the same period of the previous year.
Operating Income (EBIT) amounted to 27.5 million euro, compared to 29.1 million euro as of September 30th, 2024, mainly due to higher amortisation expenses in line with the progress of the Group's investment plan.
Pre-tax profit for the period was 27.8 million euro (+0.8% vs. 2024).
Net profit, entirely attributable to the Group, amounted to 19.8 million euro, showing an increase of 1.2% compared to 2024.
The Group's Net Financial Position (NFP) as of September 30th, 2025, was negative for 26.5 million euro, compared to a positive NFP of 5.4 million euro as of December 31st, 2024.
In terms of liquidity, the variation was mainly due to a positive operating cash flow, net of changes in Net Working Capital, of 17.7 million euro, combined with:
Consolidated and Group Shareholders' Equity amounted to 223.6 million euro, compared to 220.9 million euro as of December 31st, 2024, showing an increase due to the profit for the period, net of the dividend distribution based on 2024 earnings.
The total amount of investments made by the Group as of September 30th, 2025, was 32 million euro; these were mainly development projects of an infrastructural nature, partly aimed at improving airport operations and partly focused on environmental sustainability.
For the seventh consecutive month, in October the airport again exceeded one million passengers, reaching 1,039,284, an increase of 3.5% compared to the same month in 2024. In the January–October 2025 period, passengers totalled 9.6 million, up 2.5% compared to 2024, surpassing — two months in advance — the total annual passengers of 2019.
Movements in January–October 2025 amounted to 67,633 (+1% compared to the same period in 2024), while air cargo traffic reached 36,809 tonnes, down 3.5% year-on-year.

ICAO projections indicate a global air traffic of around 9.8 billion passengers in 2025, up 3.7% year-on-year, confirming the beginning of a new phase of more moderate yet less volatile growth compared to the post-pandemic period.
The macroeconomic and geopolitical context continues to represent a source of uncertainty for the aviation sector. The interplay between geopolitical conflicts and raw material prices remains among the main downside risks for the coming months.
On one hand, the strong correlation with the global economic cycle – with world GDP growth estimated at +2.8% in 2025 – combined with inflationary pressures and the introduction of import duties, tends to limit demand development and affect the growth of passenger and cargo traffic. On the other hand, improved employment prospects in emerging countries and lower commodity prices represent positive factors for the sector.
In this context, global passenger traffic is expected to reach around 17.2 billion passengers by 2043, with an average annual growth rate of 3.2%, and approximately 21.5 billion passengers by 2053, or 2.3 times the traffic recorded in 2024 (+2.9% per year) (Source: ACI World, "ACI World Airport Traffic Forecasts 2024–2053," February 2025; ICAO, "State of the industry and outlook for airport traffic," September 23rd, 2025).
The Group closes the first nine months of 2025 with positive results in terms of both traffic evolution and economic-financial performance.
In particular, 2025 marked the first Summer season for Bologna Airport as a "coordinated airport", with first-half traffic exceeding 2024 levels and a slight contraction in the third quarter. The fourth quarter began with higher traffic volumes compared to the same period of the previous year.
In the coming months, the Group will continue to address the capacity constraints of certain infrastructure subsystems, with several interventions focused on the passenger terminal, with the aim of improving service quality and passenger travel experience, while managing the challenges related to maintaining full operational functionality during construction works.
