Summer is always an invitation to leave, but every departure tells something that goes beyond the mere idea of reaching a destination. It tells of a desire for discovery, a choice, a time that opens up to new possibilities. There is, in every trip, a deeply emotional component: waiting, imagination, curiosity, the need to change perspective even for just a few days. 

It is in this dimension, made up of concreteness and inspiration together, that the new issue dedicated to Summer 2026 of Milan Bergamo Airport takes shape. In these pages, the airport is not only described as an infrastructure or as a network of connections, but as a meeting point between experiences, geographies, desires and different ways of experiencing the journey. Leaving today does not simply mean moving. It means choosing a rhythm, an atmosphere, an idea of free time, a way of looking at the world and, after all, also of looking at oneself. 

This is why the journey begins long before take-off: it is born in the imagination, it grows in inspiration, 

takes shape in the possibilities that open up in front of the passenger.

Milan Bergamo Airport is increasingly presenting itself as an open door to multiple and complementary horizons. Alongside the breadth of the network, a broader vision of the travel experience emerges, which focuses not only on where, but also on how. 

The journey is built through the suggestions that precede it, 

through the stories that inspire him, through the tools that help to imagine him 

and to live it with greater awareness. 

In this sense, the dedicated tour guides, the services designed for the passenger, the attention to comfort, spaces and time spent at the airport become an integral part of the same narrative. This issue was created with the intention of accompanying the reader into this more complete idea of travel. An idea in which departure is not just a practical act, but an experience that begins already in waiting, in choice, in the possibility of being inspired. It is a story that speaks of new routes and expansion of the network, but above all of an airport that is growing in its ability to welcome, orient and accompany. A place where functionality meets the thrill of leaving and where every connection also becomes a promise of discovery.

The new opportunities of Summer 2026, together with the wealth of existing connections, thus strengthen the role of Milan Bergamo Airport as a dynamic, accessible and increasingly open airport to the world. But what this issue wants to restore, even more deeply, is the sense of travel as a living, personal, changing experience. An experience made up of expectations and impulses, of the desire for novelty, of the need for lightness and wonder.

And this is perhaps the most current meaning of leaving: 

not only to go elsewhere, but to give oneself the opportunity to change one's gaze. 

Opening up to a different time, to an inner as well as an external landscape, to a form of discovery that does not only concern places, but also the way we cross them. After all, every journey begins like this: with a horizon that widens, with a possibility that takes shape, with the silent emotion of something that is about to begin.

Enjoy reading and have a good trip
