Malpensa Airport (IATA: MXP , ICAO: LIMC ) is located in the province of Varese, about 50 km from central 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 as by the "Malpensa Express" train starting from the Milan Cadorna railway station (LeNord regional railways) and taking about 40 minutes. It is also connected to Linate Airport by a scheduled bus service and by Milan's local transportation. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost traffic.

Malpensa handled over 23.8 million passengers in 2007 (over 33 million with Linate, the second airport of Milan, closer to downtown and over 39 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, together with Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport in terms of total passengers. As far as hub transit passengers are concerned it is also the second airport in Italy after Rome, according to ASSAEROPORTI traffic data. It is also leading freight air gateway to Italy. Malpensa serves a population of over 15 million inhabitants.

In late 2007, Alitalia announced the closure of its major hub operations at Malpensa, after deciding to focus most of its hub operations at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport. Several point-to-point flights will continue between Malpensa and some destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia. Milan will be left with only three long-haul routes operated by Alitalia: New York-JFK, Tokyo-Narita, and Sao Paulo-Guarulhos.

Malpensa has two terminals, T1 for commercial traffic and T2 for charter and low-fare traffic. The T1 has two satellites: A - National and European traffic (Schengen area); B - International traffic (extra Schengen area). The third satellite (C) is under construction and a third runway is going to be built. There is also a dedicated cargo terminal called "CargoCity" with over 410,000 tons of yearly traffic.
