Milan's Malpensa Airport Renamed to Honor Silvio Berlusconi

Italy's second-busiest airport will now be known as Milan-Malpensa Silvio Berlusconi International Airport, despite opposition.

Italy's civil aviation authority approved the renaming of Malpensa Airport.
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini announced the decision, calling it a tribute to Berlusconi.
Milan's Mayor and unions had proposed naming the airport after ballerina Carla Fracci.
Berlusconi, a controversial figure, served as Italy's premier three times.
Malpensa Airport handles significant passenger and cargo traffic, second only to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
