That probably makes LIN a better airport for some business travellers.
I do have one Q re : MXP

Why are turnarounds relatively slow? They seem to be faster at LIN which doesn't make much sense

Example :

BA 564 LHR LIN 0740 1035 -> BA 565 1130 1235 (55 minutes)

BA 572 LHR MXP 0750 1045 -> BA 573 1205 1315 (80 minutes)
