Malpensa International Airport is located in the province of Varese, near Milan, Italy. It is one of 3 international airports in the Milan area.
The airport is connected to Milan by the Milano-Varese highway as well by a dedicated train called "Malpensa Express". It is also connected to Linate Airport by a scheduled bus service. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost and charter traffic.
Malpensa handled over 21.7 million passengers in 2006 (over 31 million with Linate, the second airport of Milan, closer to downtown and over 36 million with Orio al Serio Airport, Milan's low cost airport). Until early 2008, Malpensa remains the top Italian airport in terms of international traffic, while the second busiest after Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in total passengers; it is also the leading freight air gateway to Italy. Malpensa serves a population of over 15 million people.
In late 2007, Alitalia announced the closure of its major hub operation at Malpensa, instead deciding to focus the majority of it's hub operation at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Several key point-to-point flights will continue between Malpensa and certain destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia.
