FlyingPig85 loves to travel! She is naming her caches after airports around the world she’s flown into or out of and not the actual location of the caches.
LIN has been in existence since the 1930s. At that time, it was one of the world’s first aerodromes. It was remodeled to accommodate modern airplane travel in the 1950s and again in the 1980s.
Linate, the name by which the airport is familiarly known, comes from the local community (Peschiera Borromeo). It’s official name, however, if Airport Enrico Forlanini. Forlanini was born in Milan in 1848 and was an engineer, inventor, and aeronautical pioneer.
Linate lies 4 miles east of downtown Milan and in 2017 served 9.5 million passengers. There is one terminal that houses 5 gates. The rest of the passengers are bused out to the planes, which wait for them on ramps.
On the two runways, 16 airlines fly their planes. All of them are EU/Domestic airlines.
You will need to bring a pen, as the cache is small and does not have one.
