Lombardy is home to Italy’s four busiest airports.

– Milano Malpensa Airport is an intercontinental airport. The airport connects Africa, Asia, and North America, and across Europe, where it is served by full-service and low-fare carriers.

– Milano Linate is Milan’s city airport mostly served by business-oriented flights to European major commercial centers.

– Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport is served almost exclusively by low-fare carriers, taking advantage of its proximity to both Milan and the Alps.

– Despite only Linate being in the city and province of Milan, all three airports are marketed as serving the city. One can easily get to other destinations in the province from them, without necessarily changing in Milan. There is also a small airport in Brescia.
