Terminal 1

The newest building in the airport, serving scheduled traffic for both schengen and non schengen flights. It is a very modern and impressive building, structured so as to quickly serve local traffic together with transit traffic, reducing transit times at the minimums, by keeping walking distances very low.

In order to reach this target, engineers decided to develop an impressive single "vertical" building, with several floors dedicated to the different activities. Such activities are then brought together by the tunnels that link the central body to two satellites (which are "horizontally" organized) where the planes are parked. At the moment, two thirds of the structure have been completed, with Satellite A (on the left, in the following map) dedicated to Schengen Flights and Satellite B dedicated to Non Schengen destinations (on the right, in the following map). The new satellite C will be built after the year 2000. Current structures enable the airport to handle 20 aircraft with loading bridges, added to 25 remote stands (plus those available in the Terminal 1 and cargo city aprons). Eurodirect Airlines has selected this building as its main operations terminal.

Terminal 2

This terminal is the original building at Malpensa, but recent renewal projects have made this structure lovely and efficient for the passengers. With current traffic levels, Terminal 1 is well able to handle all schedule flights, so this structure has been completely dedicated to holiday charters, for which it has become Italy's most important gateway, plus some scheduled services to Eastern Europe, Cyprus and Turkey.

Departures and Arrivals are handled by two different and distant buildings.

In order to bring them back together, engineers have created an original way to "direct" passenger flows: every plane is parked in front of a Tower, equipped with a Loading bridge. Every tower is linked with the departures building through a short tunnel at the same level as the loading bridge.
The tower itself also contains a lift that takes to the upper level, equipped with a longer tunnel that leads to the arrival building. 5 planes can be contemporarily served with loading bridges, and the apron is able to handle several other wide bodies.

In the future, after further expansion projects, this terminal will become an 8-gates satellite, directly linked with the Terminal  through an automated people mover, adding another 6 millions of passengers to Malpensa's scheduled traffic.
