Milan movements are in line with 2023
SEA Prime has handled 27,000 movements this year, an impressive return. It is making several improvements to its infrastructure, including a reduction of energy consumption in the hangar and a larger apron at Linate.

SEA Prime, manager of Milan's Linate and Malpensa airports under the Milano Prime brand, has reported positive performance, with approximately 27,000 movements managed in the first nine months of the year, in line with 2023 levels. Notably, traffic to and from North American destinations has grown by four per cent year-over-year, driven by major events such as Milan Fashion Week and the F1 Grand Prix. As the company consolidates its growth, it remains focused on strategic infrastructure projects, particularly at the Linate Prime Terminal, in preparation for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.

Key developments include a 10,000 sqm expansion of the apron at Linate Prime, designed to increase parking areas. Additionally, the Linate Prime terminal will undergo a major expansion, increasing its footprint by approximately 2,400 sqm. This project will revamp existing infrastructures, adding new lounge spaces and passenger service areas to enhance the customer experience.

Sustainability is at the core of the Linate Prime Terminal's transformation. Existing structures will be repurposed, and advanced technologies will be integrated to improve energy efficiency. The roof will feature photovoltaic panels for renewable energy generation, while state of the art heating and air conditioning systems will significantly reduce energy consumption and minimise environmental impact, ensuring optimal indoor air quality with minimal energy use.

“As we continue to strengthen our leadership in business aviation across Italy and Europe, we are seizing the opportunity presented by the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. The expansion of Linate Prime highlights our commitment to providing a terminal for our customers with high service and sustainability standards,” says Chiara Dorigotti, chief executive officer of SEA Prime.
