Going to Malpensa thinking about the environment: why choose the airport shuttle
Milan-Malpensa Airport is the main reference airport in Milan and is one of the most important European airports (in Italy it is second only to Rome-Fiumicino). In 2022, as many as 21,3 million passengers passed through this airport and the data relating to 2023 reasonably suggests that this number will be exceeded. Considering these numbers, it immediately becomes clear how important it is to think about ecological transport options to reach Malpensa airport. We are in fact living in a period in which it is… Read more
