Ua kākau hou ʻia nā puke moʻolelo e like me ka SEA's Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) i hōʻoia ai i ka hoʻomau ʻana o kāna ulu kalepa maikaʻi ʻana, me 24.6 miliona mau ohua e mālama ʻia ana i ka makahiki 2018, me ka ʻike ʻana i ka hale ʻaʻole i hiki wale aku akā wāwahi i kāna moʻohelu o nā huahana i hala (2007: 23.7 miliona) .
Hoʻohui hou kēia hopena ʻoihana (+ 11.5% makahiki-ma-ka makahiki) i kahi ʻano i ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole ulu wale ʻo Malpensa no ʻekolu mau makahiki me nā helu kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka awelika, akā ʻike pū ʻia ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma waena o nā kahua mokulele nui o ʻEulopa (ʻoi aku ma mua o 20 miliona mau ohua) no kāna piʻi ulu ulu. I ka 2019, ʻo ka pahuhopu no ka puka makahiki i ʻoi aku ma mua o 25 miliona mau mākaʻi no ka manawa mua, a i ka wāwahi ʻana i kēia paepae, e hoʻokuʻi iā MXP i ka liki kiʻekiʻe o nā kahua mokulele ʻEulopa.
Kūleʻa ka ulu ʻana o ke kahua mokulele, no ka mea, kākoʻo ʻia ia e nā ʻāpana kalepa nui āpau: lōʻihi loa; kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa; a me ka hoʻoilina. Me nā mokulele ʻē aʻe e ulu wikiwiki ana ʻo ʻEulopa a me nā ʻāina ʻē, ʻo Air Italia ke kanalua ʻole kekahi o nā kumu nui i ka holomua o ka MXP, mahalo i kāna kūlana hou i ka mākeke ʻItalia me Malpensa e hana nei ma ke ʻano he hub a me ke kahua. ʻO kāna mau pilina intercontinental (New York, Miami, Bangkok, Delhi a me Mumbai) a me nā mokulele kūloko (Roma, Napela, Lamezia Terme, Catania, Palermo a me Olbia) i hoʻomaka ʻia i ka makahiki 2018, e hui pū ʻia e nā ala hou i S19, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Los Angeles, Kapalakiko, Kikako, Toronto a me Cagliari. "ʻOiai kekahi o nā wahi hou i loaʻa i ka O & D koi makahiki ʻoi aku ma mua o 100,000 mau huakaʻi, kahaha loa lākou ʻaʻole i lawelawe ʻia e kekahi mokulele no hoʻokahi mau makahiki," wahi a Andrea Tucci, VP Aviation Business Development ma SEA.
Ma waena o nā mākeke ʻāina ʻEulopa e ulu wikiwiki nei mai MXP ma 2018 ka mākeke Italia kūloko, me Kelemania a me Sepania. I ka wā e pili ana i longhaul ʻo nā mākeke kiʻekiʻe ka US, Kina a me Kanada. "Kuhi piha mākou i ka ʻAkelanika ʻAkau ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hōkū o kēia makahiki," i wehewehe ai ʻo Tucci. "Ua hāʻawi mua ʻo 2018 i kahi mea hoʻonui i kā mākou huakaʻi intercontinental, e ulu ana ma 7.8%, a ke manaʻo nei mākou i kahi hoʻomohala hou aʻe i ka wā pōkole."
ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka ulu ʻana ma Malpensa ʻaʻole ia e kalaiwa wale i kāna mau huakaʻi, akā ʻo ka maikaʻi o kāna waihona mea kūʻai aku - lawelawe ʻia ke kahua mokulele e 105 mau mokulele - a me kāna pūnaewele o 210 mau wahi. Ma ka hopena o ka hoʻonui ʻana ma nā mākeke / nā ʻāina i lawelawe ʻia mai MXP, ma W18 ke kahua mokulele ʻeiwa i ka honua, a ʻo ka ʻeono ma ʻEulopa, e pili ana i ka helu o nā ʻāina i lawelawe ʻia ma nā mokulele kū ʻole, ma mua o nā hub nui e like me e like me Munich a me Madrid.
"Ua kūkulu ʻia ʻo Malpensa ma ke ʻano he kahua mokulele hub a he mea pīhoihoi ka ʻike ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana i kēlā ala hou," hauʻoli ʻo Tucci. "ʻO ka 10 miliona mau kamaʻāina o Lombardy, ko Italia ʻāpana waiwai loa, pono a kūpono i kahi hub maoli a ʻōlelo i ka mea lawe a me nā manawa kūpono e lawe ai i kēlā ʻano pūnaewele. Me 70% o ka hoʻokele kūwaho o ka ʻāina i hoʻokumu ʻia i kā mākou hopu i ka ʻĀkau o ʻItalia, hilinaʻi mākou e pili ana i kā mākou ulu ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
I ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e pahu i nā helu o nā mokulele mokulele i ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻo SEA Milan, ma ka inoa o Milan a me ka Lombardy Region, e hoʻokipa i ka hālāwai kūkā kamaʻilio pūnaewele 26th World Routes, ma waena o 5-8 Kepakemapa o ka makahiki aʻe ʻO ka ʻākoakoa ʻekolu e ʻae ai i nā kahua mokulele kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea hoʻoholo mokulele e hālāwai me ke alo a he alo a kūkākūkā i ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā lawelawe lewa, hoʻomohala a hoʻolālā i ka hoʻolālā kikowaena a e ʻimi i nā manawa kūpono hou.
Ua pani ka ʻōnaehana kahua mokulele ʻo Milan i ka makahiki 2018 me ka huina o 33.7 miliona mau ohua, kahi hoʻonui o 7% ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 2017, me Milan Linate i hāʻawi aku iā 9.2 miliona mau ohua, iho -3.3% o kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻO kēia hopena ma muli o ka hapa nui i ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana o Alitalia a me Air Italia ma Linate, me nā ala ʻoihana nui ʻē aʻe o nā halihali e hoʻomau ʻia ana i kahi manawa o ka hoʻohui.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- As a result of the expansion in the markets / countries served from MXP, in W18 the airport ranked ninth in the world, and sixth in Europe, in relation to the number of countries served on non-stop flights, ahead of many major hubs such as Munich and Madrid.
- This result was due in a large part to the restructuring of both Alitalia and Air Italy at Linate, with the carriers' major international business routes still undergoing a period of consolidation.
- Together with several other European and overseas fast-growing airlines, Air Italy is undoubtedly one of the major contributing factors of MXP's continued success, thanks to its new positioning in the Italian market with Malpensa acting as its hub and base.
