Quieter Milanese airports

At Linate, SEA has installed six charging pillars, situated in various parts of the airport; these are in addition to the opportunities for recharging provided in the airport's workshops and maintenance areas. The average range of each electric car is 90-100 kilometres when fully charged.

In the past SEA introduced electric vehicles through its subsidiary at the time, SEA Handling. At the two Milan airports there are 372 electric units operating (representing nearly 27% of the vehicle total), notably baggage tractors for hauling luggage and conveyor belts for loading and unloading operations. The next goal, which is currently being assessed, is that of using electric runway buses (sourced from Cobus) for passenger transport purposes.

However, SEA aims to reduce the environmental impact of its airports even further. Currently, CO2 emissions attributed to airport activity are limited to 3%, whilst for the air and vehicle traffic, they are 23% and 74% respectively. At both of these airports electric cars have been available to passengers since 2012, and these are included in the car-sharing network, which can be found in many parts of Lombardy. Like Linate, the siting of free charging pillars and parking places reserved for private electric cars is also being considered at Milan Malpensa.
Still on the subject of reducing the impact of vehicle traffic, the T1-T2 railway link, which will bring people to Malpensa's Terminal 2 directly from Milan, is currently under construction.

Thanks to a number of measures (for example, the use of LED and low consumption bulbs, both inside and outside; turning off lights in areas that are not used at night; the computerisation and introduction of measuring instruments for the analysis of energy consumption and the optimisation and regulation of the temperature inside the terminals according to how crowded they are), SEA has achieved annual energy savings of nearly 13.188 megaWatt hours.

Consequently, Airports Council International Europe has acknowledged the Neutrality level of both Milan Linate and Milan Malpensa through these innovative efficiencies.
