Milano Malpensa Airport "City of Milan" (IATA: MXP, ICAO: LIMC), former "Aeroporto Città di Busto Arsizio" is Milan's largest airport. It is located 21.58 NM (39.97 km; 24.83 mi) northwest of central Milan, Italy. It is one of 3 airports in the Milan metropolitan area.
The airport is connected to Milan by the Milano-Varese highway as well as by the "Malpensa Express" train starting from the Milan Cadorna railway station (LeNord regional railways) and taking about 41 minutes. It is also connected to Linate Airport by a scheduled bus service and by Milan's local transportation. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost traffic.
Malpensa handled over 23.8 million passengers in 2007 (over 33 million with Linate, the second airport of Milan, closer to downtown and over 39 million with Orio al Serio Airport, Milan's low-cost airport). As of early 2008, Malpensa remains the top Italian airport in terms of international traffic, together with Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport in terms of total passengers. As far as hub transit passengers are concerned it is also the second airport in Italy after Rome, according to ASSAEROPORTI traffic data. It is also the leading air freight gateway to Italy. Malpensa serves a population of over 15 million inhabitants.
easyJet has a dedicated Terminal (T2) and Malpensa is that company's biggest base outside the UK.
