Arriva Malpensa Prime: il nuovo terminal pronto per il 2019

Milano avrà presto il suo Malpensa Prime, il nuovo terminal dedicato al segmento business per l’aeroporto meneghino.

Dopo il successo di Linate Prime, che nei primi sei mesi di quest’anno ha registrato un incremento di traffico del +3%, è tutto pronto per un bis a Malpensa: il nuovo terminal verrà inaugurato a giugno 2019 e offrirà tutte le facilities dedicate alla Business & General Aviation. Vale a dire: un’aerostazione per l’accoglienza di passeggeri ed equipaggi, un piazzale dedicato e un hangar, già operativo, per la sosta e il ricovero di executive jet di ultima generazione.

“Milano è la capitale del design e della moda – ha spiegato Chiara Dorigotti, direttore generale di Sea Prime – ed è una delle destinazioni internazionali più ambite nel mondo, in grado di coniugare il traffico tipicamente business con quello leisure. In tale ottica Malpensa Prime rappresenterà la porta d’accesso al cuore della Lombardia e dell’Europa e a prestigiose località turistiche, come il Lago di Como, il Ticino Svizzero e la Val d’Aosta. La sua apertura consentirà di incrementare ulteriormente l’eccellenza dei nostri servizi, a complemento dello scalo di Linate Prime, che gode di un posizionamento unico a soli 7 chilometri di distanza dal centro di Milano”.
