SEA and Skyports collaborate on Italian vertiport viability
Skyports and SEA Group anticipate deploying vertiports across Italy within the next few years. The first should open in Milan by 2026, in time for the winter Olympics; others will follow.
A Milan vertiport could be open for business in time for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

Vertiport owner and operator Skyports has partnered with airport operator SEA Milan Airports to investigate the development and operation of a network of vertiports across Italy.

Starting in Milan, where SEA manages Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate airports, the companies will explore the deployment of vehicle-agnostic, scalable and cost effective vertiports across the city and the surrounding region. They are particularly focused on establishing commercial operations in time for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, but anticipate many more across the country within the next few years.

“Milan is a central business hub for Italy's northern region, which makes it an attractive market for advanced air mobility applications,” says Skyports founder and CEO Duncan Walker. “Our plans are to have a number of operational vertiports across Italy by the mid-2020s in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics. SEA Milano is the ideal partner for delivering on our strategy in Italy.”

SEA Milan Airports CEO Armando Brunini adds: “Collaborating with Skyports will accelerate SEA's capability to deploy a network of vertiports, starting from greater Milan, and support the start up and development of this promising and sustainable mode of air mobility.”
