Milan Linate Airport sits just seven kilometres east of the city centre, making it the natural choice for private jet charter to Milan. Officially named Enrico Forlanini Airport (IATA: LIN, ICAO: LIML), it remains the preferred gateway for business and private travellers who need swift, direct access to one of Europe’s great commercial and cultural capitals. Prime Jet Services arranges on-demand charter flights to and from Linate 24/7, with tailored aircraft options and transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

Milan Linate: A City Airport Built for Private Aviation

While Malpensa handles the bulk of Milan’s long-haul scheduled traffic, Linate specialises in short-haul European routes and business aviation. Its dedicated general-aviation terminal processes private flights entirely separately from the main commercial concourse, allowing passengers to arrive, clear formalities and reach a waiting car in minutes rather than hours. For executives, fashion and design visitors, and anyone continuing to the Italian lakes or the Alps, that proximity to the centre is a decisive advantage.

Charter Flights to Milan: Routes and Aircraft

Milan is one of Europe’s principal business destinations — home to Italy’s stock exchange and financial district, the headquarters of leading fashion and design houses, and internationally significant events including Milan Fashion Week and the Salone del Mobile. Demand for private charter is particularly strong around these events, when flexible, time-certain access to the city carries a premium.

Prime Jet Services operates charter flights to and from Linate on every class of aircraft:

• Light jets — well suited to short European hops from the UK, France, Switzerland and Germany
• Super-midsize and heavy jets — appropriate for longer European and Middle Eastern routes
• Ultra-long-range cabins — available for intercontinental travel requiring non-stop range

We also monitor availability on empty-leg flights on Milan routes, which can offer significant savings when your schedule allows flexibility on timings.

Milan and the Wider Region

Beyond its commercial significance, Milan rewards visitors with some of Italy’s finest culture, cuisine and retail. Within easy reach of the city centre:

• The Gothic Duomo and its rooftop terraces
• Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper
• The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
• La Scala opera house
• The Brera art district
• The Quadrilatero della Moda fashion quarter
• Michelin-starred restaurants and the city’s celebrated aperitivo culture

Linate is equally well placed as a base for northern Italy more broadly. The lakes of Como, Maggiore and Garda, the vineyards of Piedmont and Franciacorta, and the ski resorts of the Italian and Swiss Alps are all comfortably accessible by car or helicopter from the airport.

A Brief History of Milan Linate Airport

Linate opened in 1937 as a replacement for Milan’s earlier Taliedo aerodrome, and was named in honour of Enrico Forlanini — the engineer and aviation pioneer whose work on helicopters, airships and hydrofoils shaped early Italian aviation. For several decades it served as Milan’s principal airport for both domestic and international services. As passenger volumes grew, long-haul and high-frequency scheduled traffic was progressively transferred to the larger Malpensa Airport to the north-west, allowing Linate to concentrate on short-haul, point-to-point and business flights. A complete closure in 2019 for runway and infrastructure works delivered a refurbished terminal, further modernised through 2021, and the subsequent opening of the M4 metro line added a fast rail link directly into the heart of the city.
