You can check out the new rates here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Without warning, Milan’s airport authorities have slapped a massive increase on General Aviation parking fees at LIML\/Linate and LIMC\/Malpensa – a change that\u2019s already catching operators off guard and racking up huge costs.<\/p>\n One OPSGROUP member told us their aircraft, parked at Linate for a three-week stay, saw the bill shoot up from a previously quoted \u20ac6,800<\/strong> to nearly \u20ac29,000<\/strong>, following the new rate introduction on July 1.<\/p>\n Local handlers confirm the price hike. One local FBO outlined the new pricing structure, which now uses a tiered pricing model based on duration, with rates charged per ton per hour:<\/p>\n Linate (LIML):<\/strong><\/p>\n Malpensa (LIMC):<\/strong><\/p>\n The first two hours are still free, but that\u2019s about the only mercy left in this new setup.<\/p>\n This means parking a 50-ton aircraft at Linate<\/strong> for more than 72 hours now costs \u20ac1300 per day <\/strong>– a whopping 650% increase<\/strong> from the old rate. At Malpensa, the impact is slightly less brutal but still substantial, with costs up nearly 500%<\/strong> in some cases.<\/p>\n The airport authority has offered absolutely nothing in the way of explanation, but handlers suspect the move is part of a strategy to discourage long-term \u201cempty leg\u201d parking<\/strong> and reserve space for active operations.<\/strong> No consultation, no warning – just a new tariff sheet published in July<\/a> and backdated to take effect immediately. (You can see the old tariffs from 2024 here<\/a>).<\/p>\n Some large operators are already lodging complaints. Whether those efforts will gain traction remains to be seen. In the meantime, if you\u2019re flying into Milan for anything longer than a fuel stop, you might want to seriously reconsider!<\/p>\n Both LIML\/Linate and LIMC\/Malpensa charge higher landing fees for non-AOC flights. <\/strong><\/p>\n Commercial flights (Part 135) get the standard rate, while private flights (Part 91) pay about 1.5\u20132\u00d7 more<\/strong> for the same landing and take-off. The gap grows with aircraft size – large jets can see several thousand euros extra per stop.<\/p>\n Be clear about your flight type when booking handling and have your AOC ready if you have one!<\/p>\n Parma is a bizjet-friendly airport with a 2,100m (6,900ft) runway, a dedicated GA apron, no slot restrictions, and full handling support – so this can be a pretty decent alternative to Milan\u2019s airports if they have the space.<\/p>\n You can check the parking costs at Parma here<\/a>. Parking is charged at \u20ac0.60 per hour per ton of MTOW, starting from the third hour, with the first two hours free. So a 50-ton aircraft parked for 24 hours would pay \u20ac660<\/strong>, which is similar to the cost at Linate, but the key difference here is that the rate stays flat for longer stays!<\/p>\n Brescia is another decent option, with a 2,990m (9,800ft) runway, dedicated GA facilities, and no slot restrictions.<\/p>\nJuly 2025 update:<\/h6>\n
