Milan Malpensa Airport Guide

Malpensa International Airport is located in the province of Varese, near Milan, Italy. It is one of 3 international airports in the Milan area. The airport is connected to Milan by the Milano-Varese highway as well by a dedicated train called "Malpensa Express". It is also connected to Linate Airport by a scheduled bus service. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost and charter traffic.

Malpensa is one of the two hubs of Alitalia, the Italian national flag carrier. It handled over 21.7 million passengers in 2006 (over 31 million with Linate, the second airport of Milan, closer to downtown and over 36 million with Orio al Serio Airport, Milan's low cost airport). Malpensa is the top Italian airport in terms of international traffic, while the second busiest after Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in total passengers; it is also the leading freight air gateway to Italy. Malpensa serves a population of over 15 million people.

Malpensa International Airport has two terminals, T1 for commercial traffic and T2 for charter and low-fares traffic. The T1 has two satellites: A - National and European traffic (Schengen area); B - International traffic (extra Schengen area). The third satellite (C) is under construction and a third runway is going to be built. There is also a dedicated cargo terminal called "CargoCity" with over 410,000 tons of yearly traffic. Before major improvement work carried out in 1998, the airport was used mostly for long-haul flights to the United States, South Africa, and Asia. Flights to Europe, Middle East and North Africa used Linate airport which is much smaller than the improved Malpensa. Today most of these flights, with the exception of some national and European flights using narrow-bodied aircraft have been transferred from Linate to Malpensa.
