This scenery by Raffaele Fiore covers Milan Malpensa Airport in great detail, and includes a terminal which (in real life) will be finished only a few years from now.
The airport seems a bit deserted in that there are no other planes parked in the gates or in the parking spaces.

 TIME Europe | Business: Turbulence Ahead | 6/19/2000
By 1997, when the on-again, off-again plans for the expansion of the out-of-town Malpensa AirportÑused mainly for cargo flights and a small number of charter flightsÑfinally got underway, Linate, with its single runway, was handling over 12 million passengers a year and was close to full capacity.
The $1.2 billion, state-of-the-art Malpensa 2000 was to be an international hub to complement, perhaps even rival, Rome's Fiumicino Airport.
Then there was the inadequate infrastructure — improved road and new rail links were only completed six months after the airport opened — and environmental concerns — residents in the densely populated area complained loudly about the increased noise and air pollution.

On a 3-hour layover at Milan Malpensa, I was directed to the Botticelli Lounge at the end of Terminal A. Malpensa is no beauty, and sad to say this lounge fits right in.
