00:00What is the meaning of Malpensa?
00:04We have a strategic meaning because it shows the potential and the power of the market of Malpensa, of Milan, of Lombardy, on long-range.
00:17As I said before, we do not have a flag vector that makes hub in Malpensa, despite the fact that we have many long-range destinations.
00:28Vectors like Wizz Air, which introduce innovative machines like this, will have the opportunity to introduce, in this case, an already existing route,
00:37but surely there will be spaces to operate new routes, further strengthening our positioning that qualifies Malpensa and offers opportunities to citizens and tourists who can more easily arrive in Milan.
00:56This summer has been strong and therefore we have grown by around 10% system-wise. Overall, winter was even stronger,
01:06so we are growing by double compared to 2023, which was the same in 2019.
01:13So it is an increasing number, both compared to last year, but which means that we are abundantly above the anti-Covid levels.
01:22This is both in Linate and Malpensa. We are growing a little more in Linate, but Malpensa is also performing very well.
