Investments made at Linate airport

Over the course of 2015, a number of operations were also carried out at Linate on the airport’s airside infrastructure, dictated by the need for some unscheduled maintenance of the existing configuration, and by the desire to ensure an increasingly safe and functional use of the airport by aircraft. Among the projects deserving a special mention in repaving of some areas of the main runway and of certain stretches of taxiways and aircraft apron, upgrade of 18/36 runway’s malfunctioning light detection system, the various ongoing AVL system adaptations (e.g. replacement of low-insulation cables) and the cabin and tower equipment. New aircraft release points were also identified on northern apron, enabling easier aircraft movements.
In passenger terminal, the area for security checks of departing passengers was enhanced (after moving the “staff access gate”) and various restyling, extraordinary maintenance and revamping works on existing installations were carried out.
Other operations concerned the west area of grounds, with various renovations of existing facilities for business aviation, which will continue in 2016 and will include the construction of a new aircraft hangar and reconfiguration of part of the aircraft apron.
