Milan's largest airport is approximately 53 km from the centre of Milan and 32 km from Varese. It is one of the largest bases for easyJet, and there is a fairly dense network of long-distance flights from Malpensa.

Although Malpensa's distance from the city centre may be off-putting at first sight, even Milan's second largest airport Bergamo BGY isn't much closer - it's exactly 50km from Milan. The only airport closer to the centre is the smaller Linate LIN.

Most flights to Malpensa are operated by easyJet from European and Italian destinations.
