positions to his name in business management organisations, manufacturing trade
associations and groups representing private enterprise, many of which he

determination expressed by all board members to carry out scheduled plans for
upgrading airport facilities, directed towards continuously improving the quality of
the services which already meet with a high degree of satisfaction, while focusing
on the process of environmental mitigation.
He likewise expressed his hope that the working partnership underway with SEA

the system of airports within the Lombardy user catchment area, by continuing the
analysis and dialogue stage which has been underway for some time with
neighbouring businesses with the aim of identifying opportune operating and intercompany
synergies.

This new executive and managerial set-up, based around the positions of president
and managing director, is an expression of a collective vision of the business of
airport management which is able to respond to the dynamics of the air transport
sector and the need for an ever closer relationship with the local social and
economic system, making it possible to improve the general efficiency of the airport
and take an active part in future projects to improve the network of external services
connected with land use planning requirements.
