Milan Linate Airport( IATA : LIN, ICAO : LIML) is a city airport located in Milan, the second-largest city and largest urban area of Italy. It served 7,719,977 passengers in 2022 with 101,956 aircraft movements in 2022 making it one of the busiest airports in Italy. It is the third busiest airport in the Milan metropolitan area in terms of passenger numbers, after Malpensa and Bergamo, and the second busiest in terms of aircraft movements. [3]
Together with Malpensa Airport and Bergamo Airport, it forms the Milan airport system with 42.2 million passengers in 2022, the largest airport system in Italy by number of passengers. [4]
The airport was built next to Idroscalo of Milan in the 1930s when Taliedo Airport, located 1 km (0.62 mi) from the southern border of Milan and one of the world's first aerodromes and airports, became too small for commercial traffic. Linate was completely rebuilt in the 1950s and again in the 1980s.[ citation needed ]
Its name comes from the small village where it is located in the town of Peschiera Borromeo. Its official name is Airport Enrico Forlanini , after the Italian inventor and aeronautical pioneer born in Milan. Linate airport buildings are located in the Segrate Municipality, and the field is located for a large part in the Peschiera Borromeo Municipality.
Since 2001, because of Linate's close proximity to the centre of Milan – only 7 km (4 mi) east of the city centre, [1] compared with Malpensa, which is 41 km (25 mi) northwest of the city centre – its capacity has been reduced by law from 32 slots per hour (technical capacity) down to 22 slots per hour (politically decided capacity) and only domestic or international flights within the EU or to the United Kingdom have been allowed.[ citation needed ] That year, 2001, also saw a major accident at Linate with many illegal[ citation needed ] and non-ICAO-regulation practices [Note 1] and layouts part of its then operation.[ citation needed ]
From 27 July to 27 October 2019, Linate was closed for runway resurfacing and terminal upgrades. The latter project is expected to continue after the airport's reopening, concluding some time in 2021. During this closure, most flights were rerouted to Malpensa, displacing approximately 2.5 million passengers. [6] [7]
In July 2023, Linate Airport was named Europe's Best Airport in the 5-10 Million Passenger category by the Airport Council International. [8]
AIRAC A10/23 (valid from 30 November 2023) has determined the new QFU of the runway in 17/35 (was earlier 18/36) due to magnetic variation, and declass of the "old" 17/35 as taxiway only.[ citation needed ]
Linate Airport features one three-story passenger terminal building. The ground level contains the check-in and separate baggage reclaim facilities as well as service counters and a secondary departure gate area for bus-boarding. The first floor features the main departure area with several shops, restaurants and service facilities. The second floor is used for office space. [9] The terminal building features five aircraft stands, all of which are equipped with jet-bridges. Several more parking positions are available on the apron which are reached from several bus-boarding gates.[ citation needed ]
The airport is on level 4+ of the Airport Carbon Accreditation. [8]
