The airport was opened after the Idroskalo Seaport in Milan in the 1930s, when Taliedo Airport (located 1 km from the southern border of Milan ), while one of the world's largest airfields and airports, became too small to serve commercial aircraft. Linate was completely rebuilt in the 1950s and then in the 1980s.
Milan's largest airport is Malpensa ( IATA : MXP , ICAO : LIMC ). Linate and Malpensa are connected by a highway; there is a regular bus service between them. The third airport of the Milanese metropolitan area, Orio al Serio , is located 1 km east of Bergamo and 42 km east of Milan.
The correct pronunciation of the airport name is “/ li'nate /”, but not “/ laj'nate /”. At the same time, one of the suburbs of Milan is called Lainate ("/ laj'nate /"), because of which misunderstandings occur.
