SEA Prime Unveils Expanded Bizav Terminal in Milan

Fresh off Milan’s hosting of the Winter Olympics, SEA Prime, which manages the private aviation infrastructure at the city’s Linate and Malpensa Airports under the Milano Prime brand, held the official grand opening of the new wing of its terminal at Linate today.

Attended by business aviation operators, representatives of local institutions, and airport authorities, the event included speeches from members of Italy’s 2026 Olympic team: gold medalist speed skater Davide Ghiotto and silver medalist skier Federico Tomasoni.

The project—launched in late 2024—included the rebuilding of existing infrastructure and widening the entrances for improved accessibility. As a result, the new addition brings the facility to 2,000 sq m (21,530 sq ft). It features nine glass-walled lounges overlooking the ramp and landside, which have been assigned to leading Italian and international business aircraft operators who will customize them to their own standards. The airside and landside facades of the building are sheathed in corrugated metal, designed to increase brightness.

In the main hall—which was finished with materials used in traditional Milanese architecture—a custom-made polygonal concierge desk, illuminated by a large skylight, welcomes guests. Sustainable features include high-efficiency equipment, solar panels, and an air management system that constantly monitors CO2 levels to optimize air circulation.

The expansion is tied to the company’s growth. Last year, the Linate facility managed 35,900 movements, a year-over-year increase of 7%. For the first two months of 2026, traffic—spurred by the Olympic Games—nearly doubled the pace over 2025, with the terminal handling up to 130 operations a day.

“The inauguration of the new Linate Prime Terminal in the year of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics…confirms our commitment to meeting the growing demand for high-standard business aviation services and infrastructures, consolidating the role of Milano Prime as a privileged gateway to Milan and Lombardy,” said SEA Prime CEO and general manager Chiara Dorigotti.
