Milano Linate Airport, located just 7 kilometres east of Milan's city centre in Segrate, has served as the metropolitan gateway for short-haul and domestic Italian flights since the 1930s. Known for its compact, efficient layout compared to the larger Malpensa hub, Linate is favoured by business travellers and those seeking quick access to the heart of Milan. Following a major renovation completed in 2020, the airport emerged modernised with improved facilities while retaining its reputation as the most convenient Milan airport for city-bound passengers.

Milan's broader dining scene, easily reachable via the M4 metro, offers world-class options across every cuisine and price point.

- Linate handles mainly Schengen and domestic routes; confirm your flight operates from Linate and not Malpensa before heading to the airport.
