| Milan has three domestic and international airports. |
|
|

.:. (MXP) airport, tel. [+039] 02 74852200, is located towards Lake Maggiore,
some 50 kms from downtown.
.:. The Malpensa Express, a special shuttle-train, runs in about 40 minutes to and from the Ferrovie Nord railway station, in the very center of Milan (subway stop Cadorna). You purchase your ticket (11 Euros, kids 5.50 Euros) on the spot, before taking the train, or on line. If you need more information, call [+039] 02 58583185 or
[+039] 02 58583202. For web details, click here. A pdf detailed timetable in Italian can be found here.
.:. From the summer of 2011, some Malpensa Express shuttle-trains reach - instead of the Cadorna station - directly the main Stazione Centrale. Currently, the ticket has a promotional price of 7 Euros.
.:. A series of bus services connects Malpensa to the Stazione Centrale, Milan's main railway station, as well as to the Linate airport . The best known of these services is called Malpensa Shuttle ([+039] 02 58583185 or [+039] 02 58583202). Other companies are Caronte ([+039] 02 2407954), Malpensa Bus Express ([+039] 02 33910794) and Stie ([+039] 0331 519000).
.:. Malpensa has two terminals, simply called 1 (the bigger) and 2 (the old one). They are connected by a free shuttle bus.

.:. (LIN), tel.
[+039] 02 74852200, is a metropolitan airport located in the eastern outskirts, some 10 kms
from downtown.
.:. A special shuttle-service connects with the Stazione
Centrale, Milan's main railway station (info at [+039] 02 6690351). There is also a frequent urban bus, the 73, which runs to and from the city center; the 73 costs 1.50 Euro, and is included in the local transport cards. Both these bus services take
about 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
On Monday October 8, 2001 a private Cessna, taxiing out of a lateral
runway where it should not have been at all, hit an SAS MD80 as it
took off, sending it ploughing into a hangar and causing 118 casualties.
The accident - the worst in the history of Italian civil aviation
- was apparently due to a human error (made by the Cessna pilot) as
well as to the fact that the airport's ground radar was not operational.
The city of Milan declared a day of mourning.
