One year after the opening of the new FBO in Milano Linate Prime and after an important joint venture between the subsidiary Prime Aviation Services and Signature Flight Support (BBA Aviation Group), SEA Prime is continuing to invest in improving its facilities in Milano Linate Prime, strengthening and expanding the range of hangar services.

SEA Prime plans, within 2020, to invest 20 million euros for infrastructure developments including the construction of new hangars in Milano Linate Prime and the new FBO in Milano Malpensa Prime, a strategy which is consistent with Milan confirming itself as one of the top touristic attraction but also as a business destination.

According to the latest ranking by Global Destination Cities Index MasterCard 2016, Milano is among the top five visited European destination with 7.7 million visitors expected during the year and fourteenth in the most visited cities worldwide in 2016.

It is in this developing environment that SEA Prime has commenced the construction of the first of the new hangars in Milano Linate Prime, of over 3,600 sqm. capable of accommodating all last generation business aviation aircrafts and to be completed by 2016.

Chiara Dorigotti, general manager of SEA Prime S.p.A said: “Milano has always been an important center for business, but we believe it still has to deploy its full potential not only in terms of number of visitors, but also in terms of quality. This has convinced us from the outset of the opportunity to invest in restyling and repositioning of Milano Linate Prime which, thanks to its location, very close to the city centre, with its facilities, services and the latest infrastructures built, had the potential to consolidate its national and European leadership. This has proven to be the case and the positive trend that the city continues to register even after the ExpoMilano 2015, confirms the validity of the strategy realized until now and it is a support for the next development steps which will see, in 2017, the opening of Malpensa Prime, the new FBO in Milano Malpensa strategically positioned the northern area of Lombardia”.
