Malpensa Airport Terminal 2 railway station opened

malpensa-express-airport-train_malpensaexpress2The construction of the new Milan Malpensa Terminal 2 railway station is completed and was  inaugurated by Governmental and Airport Authorities, SEA, Ferrovie Nord, Trenord, and easyJet.
The new railway line will connect Milan Malpensa Terminal 1, serving international and domestic flights, and Terminal 2 which is entirely dedicated to easyJet.

The EUR 115 million project was carried out by Ferrovie Nord and it transfers between Malpensa’s new terminal and the old terminal (where easyJet flights arrive) in five minutes—greatly improving train access to Lombardy’s largest airport.

“Terminal 2 is a fundamental part of Malpensa’s identity: we want to strengthen our partnership with easyJet, and the extension of this two-line railway will help us develop that,” SEA president Pietro Modiano describing the new line said.

“The natural continuation of this project will be the T2-Gallarate line: a strategic, five-kilometer section that would connect Malpensa with the railway network coming from Northern Europe. In order to accomplish this, we can count on EUR 180 million already set aside as part of the Lombardy Pact, which was just signed by the government and approved by the CIPE (the Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning),” Lombardy Regional President Roberto Maroni added.
