Brescia "Gabriele D'Annunzio" Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Brescia , IATA: VBS, ICAO: LIPO), also known as Montichiari Airport, is located in Montichiari, southeast of City of Brescia, Italy. Other nearby airports are Milan-Malpensa, Milan-Linate, Bergamo Orio al Serio and Verona-Villafranca.

History

Ryanair operated scheduled flights to and from London Stansted Airport and Cagliari-Elmas Airport until the end of October 2010, when the airline decided to move these flights to the nearby Verona-Villafranca Airport from which it has pulled out during 2013 and 2014 pending investigations of subsidies granted there.

Passenger Traffic has collapsed from strong year on year growth in 2007-2008, from almost 35,000 passengers a month in June 2008 [3] to only 311 passengers in June 2013, a drop of 99.9% over 5 years.[4]

In 2016, Windrose Airlines, a Ukrainian-based aviation company, announced a new charter route at Brescia-Montichiari Airport.
