## Description

At roughly 38,600 tonnes handled in 2024 — up 9.4% year on year — Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (IATA: VBS, ICAO: LIPO) in Montichiari ranks among northern Italy's most important cargo airports. The field is Poste Italiane's central air-mail hub, with nightly freight and postal flights operated by Poste Air Cargo and DHL shaping its schedule. A masterplan worth around €100 million aims to double cargo volumes by 2030, adding logistics warehouses of 4,500 m² (from 2026) and 10,000 m² (from 2027). Its position in the industrial Po Valley — steel, mechanical engineering, textiles — and close to Lake Garda makes it a freight gateway in its own right. Passenger service is limited; Milan Malpensa (MXP) is the nearest larger option for travellers.
