Ground handling
Ground handling services are provided by the SACBO and Airport Global Services. However, the first private handler to enter the Orio Al Serio market was ASA Handling which started handling TUIfly but went bankrupt shortly afterwards.
Security services
Security services were formerly provided by SACBO with the supervision of the Polizia di Frontiera (Border Police), Guardia di Finanza (Italian Customs Police) and Ente Nazionale Aviazione Civile (Italy's Civil Aviation Authority). Due to labour disputes and costs the security services have been outsourced to a private security firm (Fidelitas).
