In preparation for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Milano Malpensa Airport has launched a €30m (US$35m) infrastructure investment plan.
Planned upgrades include a complete redesign of the airport’s external departure and arrival areas, with a focus on accessibility and architectural quality.
The arrivals area will be fully refurbished to serve as the first point of contact for stakeholders and the main meeting area for athletes before their transfer to the Olympic Village.
The project will feature green spaces and new lighting installations, and additional seating with integrated charging stations for electronic devices will also be installed.
A bus parking area for local public transportation will be created at the railway station level, optimized to handle Olympic traffic flows.
Dedicated routes for athletes and PRM (passengers with reduced mobility) will also be redesigned to ensure full autonomy along departure routes and at the arrival’s forecourt, enhanced by the complete removal of architectural barriers.
In addition, enhancements will be made to the passport control area and the entry/exit system routes.
