Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA Airways

I was not aware of the recent investments in the Linate airport (thanks for info!), these will surely push the closure further back in time.
Even so, excuse me for sticking to my point: Linate is a short-haul airport, and short-haul air travel in Europe is on its way out.

How do you define short haul?

Within (western) Europe. Say a max of 600 or so kilometres from Milano, as the bird flies. Or in other words: any destination that is also reachable, in a reasonable travel time, by train. Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Praha, Zurich, Wien, ... you name them.

Hm, as confused as ever, apparently...

Half half till now but but I'm slowly reaching the age where everything stops...and will move.

And that's exactly where you are wrong.

Europe is not a small piece of cake like Belgium, with high density of Population, intensive infrastructure and flat geography.

What seems feasable in your own view is not practicable somewhere else.

How often per month do you use to travel for Business fying in and returning the same day?

Haha
There is quite a significant between the wishes of some green political parties & reality.

"On its way out" is not really in line with the current numbers & forecasts...
