SEA Prime, which manages business aviation infrastructure in Milan under the brand Milano Prime, reports that it saw more than 27,000 private aircraft movements last year at the city’s two airports—Linate and Malpensa. That represents a 74 percent increase over 2020 and an 11 percent boost over 2019, underscoring the strong rebound much of the business aviation industry has experienced in the post-Covid environment. During events such as Milan’s fashion and design weeks, the gateways saw daily peaks exceeding 160 movements.
