| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Milano Linate Airport | LIN | 7 km (4 mi) | 8,012 ft | 353 ft |
| Milan Malpensa International Airport | MXP | 40 km (25 mi) | 12,861 ft | 768 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,012 ft, LIN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 353 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
