What Aeroporto di Parma So.Ge.A.P. S.p.A. does

Aeroporto di Parma So.Ge.A.P. S.p.A. (legally So.Ge.A.P. S.p.A. - Società per la Gestione) is the operator of Parma International Airport, a single-asset regional airport serving the Parma metropolitan area and the wider Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy. The company runs the airport under ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority) supervision, with a registered share capital of €17,892,636 and a headcount of 36 employees. Its product surface is conventional airport operations: flight information systems, passenger processing (check-in guidance, security, PRM assistance), safety and quality management systems, and a ticketing office.

Commercial activity is driven almost entirely by a small, seasonally programmed route network. Summer routes (late March to late September/October) target Mediterranean leisure destinations including Cagliari, Palermo, Olbia, and historically Trapani; winter and shoulder operations cover Tirana, Chișinău, and Reggio Calabria, plus a London service. Ryanair operates the majority of these routes, with FlyOne (Chișinău) and Aeroitalia (seasonal Olbia) as secondary carriers; general aviation is handled on a PPR (Prior Permission Required) basis.

Revenue is generated from three streams: aviation operations (landing fees, terminal fees, passenger-related charges), passenger services (parking, food and beverage concessions, ATM, WiFi, ticket office), and ground transportation (taxi coordination, TEP bus partnership, car sharing). Distribution is direct at the terminal and indirect through airline booking platforms (Ryanair, FlyOne, Aeroitalia). Marketing focuses on destination promotion of the Parma region's gastronomy and cultural tourism, alongside seasonal travel and community events such as the Festa della Musica. Capacity management is regulated: ENAC Ordinance 2/2025 reduces the airport's operating hours effective December 15, 2025.
