The COVID-19 has not spared even one of the largest airports in Italy. Milan Malpensa airport is in a severe crisis. The crisis at Milan Malpensa airport consists in the loss of 3/4 of the air traffic. Employees will also be affected by the crisis, with a possible loss of jobs. A return to the pace pre- COVID-19 will take many years.
