Are the airports open?
Yes. Commercial Aviation passenger traffic is currently concentrated on both Milano Linate airport and Terminal 1 of Milan Malpensa airport. Milano Malpensa Terminal 2, on the other hand, is temporarily closed.
In compliance with ENAC's dispositions, access to Milano Malpensa Terminal 1 is regulated through unidirectional routes that control the flow of passengers to make travelers' and staff's stay inside the airport as safe as possible.
Consult the access maps to Terminal 1.
We recommend that you arrive at the airport in advance to ensure that all operations are carried out in compliance with the necessary security measures.
Are there any social distancing measures and health checks at the airport?
Ensuring the safety of passengers has always been a priority for us. For this reason, we have put in place a series of measures to allow the stay in airport environments according to the parameters of health safety.
All arriving and departing passengers will also be subjected to a body temperature check through thermoscanners installed at the various access points to the terminal.
To help you maintain safe distances during your stay at the airport, we have provided clear visual indications in the areas of greatest presence, through floor signs, signage, and monitors.
We advise you to check-in online and follow the information available so that you can always keep a safe distance of at least one meter during all operations at the airport (check-in, transit, boarding, landing, baggage claim, security checks, etc.).
We invite you to listen to the repeated voice announcements and, if necessary, to contact the airport staff present, who will be able to assist you.
Is it necessary to wear masks and gloves inside the terminal?
It is mandatory to wear a medical face mask upon arrival and for the duration of your stay at the terminal. The use of gloves is not mandatory.
We recommend (as indicated by the authorities) to have a sufficient number of masks based on the entire duration of your journey.
In case of need, you can buy masks in the airport pharmacy or at the vending machines.
If I have a fever, can I still fly? What happens in case of suspected infection for a passenger (e.g. temperature above 37.5° C)?
In compliance with the regulations in force, people with respiratory infection characterized by fever (over 37.5° C) must remain at home, contacting their family doctor and refraining from any type of travel.
If a passenger is found to have a body temperature above 37.5 °C, he/she will be checked by the health authorities.
Are there any limitations for travelling within Italy?
Travels within the Italian territory are regulated by the Prime Ministerial Decree and by the Law-Decree which identifies three different levels of risk in Italy.
All passengers must, therefore, justify the necessity of their travel with a self-declaration form.
It is necessary to arrive at the airport with the self-declaration form filled out: it will be verified by Police staff before going through the security check. Therefore, we invite passengers to arrive at the airport in advance.
Are there any limitations for international travel?
Travel to and from foreign countries is subjected to the
Decree of the Italian President of the Council of Ministers, which lists the possibility of
specific limitations.
For all the details on the limitations or on the need to produce a self-declaration for your trip, please
consult the dedicated section of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or the
Ministero della Salute website or
complete the Information Form on the Viaggiare Sicuri website.
In any case, we recommend you to
check carefully the regulation established in the country of destination or any transit country before leaving for a trip abroad. Furthermore,
each Italian Region has the possibility to impose additional regulations on those coming from foreign states or territories. It is therefore recommended to also check for any additional provisions by the Region of destination by contacting them directly or by visiting their websites.
For all the exceptions regarding self-isolation, please, visit the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
