'''Linate Airport''' {{Airport codes|LIN|LIML}} is the city
airport of
Milan,
Italy. Due to its vicinity to Milan, it is mainly used for domestic and short-haul international flights, with over 9 million passengers in 2005. This name comes from the small village where it is located. Its real name is "Airport
Enrico Forlanini", from the Italian inventor of Helicopter and aereonautical pioneer born in Milan. Linate aiport buildings are located in the Segrate Municipality, and the field is located for a large part in the Peschiera Borromeo Municipality. It was built in the 30's (and completely rebuilt in the 50's and in the 80's), when the Taliedo Airport (located 1 km southern inside
Milan borders, and one of the world first aerodrome and then airport) became too small for the commercial traffic.
Another, larger airport serving Milano is
Malpensa International Airport {{airport codes|MXP|LIMC}}. Linate and Malpensa airports are connected by highways and by service buses.
The third airport of the Great Milan is
Orio al Serio, located 1 km east of
Bergamo, 42 km east of Milan. It's one of the European main hub of Ryan Air and other low coast companies.
