🚀 Marconi di Bologna airport is facing a difficult period due to increased air traffic after COVID-19, reaching a historic high this summer and undergoing peak expansion and redevelopment works from a €200 million investment as part of a masterplan updated for 2026. The airport, dating back to the 1980s within the city, is the seventh busiest for passenger traffic (10 million in 2023) and third for cargo. Current plans aim for 12.5 million users by 2030, with high-speed rail access in seven minutes. In July, passenger numbers exceeded 1.1 million, and in June, they hit one million (+10% from the previous year). Meanwhile, other Emilia airports, Parma, Forlì, and Rimini, struggle to keep up.

🚂 Ouigo, the railway company, adjusts its strategy in Spain, scaling back operations in the north and focusing on expansion into Andalusia. The Madrid-Segovia-Valladolid line will run only on weekends between September 9 and December 13. A new route from Valladolid to Valencia via Segovia and Madrid launches in December, with sales starting in October and service running daily from December 15 until at least June of the following year.
