Linate, the Sala Amica Mantegna reopens for passengers with reduced mobility
The Sala Amica Mantegna, located in the boarding area and dedicated to passengers with reduced mobility, reopens after renovation work. The spaces have been redesigned to offer greater comfort, accessibility and inclusion while waiting before the flight.
The room has accessible toilets and different types of seats, both reclining and fixed, with high and low backrests, in order to meet the different needs of passengers and their companions. Among the main innovations is a workstation that is fully accessible even to wheelchair users, designed to allow you to use the space independently.
A Quiet Room to reduce sensory stimuli
A Quiet Room has also been created inside the hall, a reserved and quiet space intended for passengers who need an environment with reduced sensory stimulation.
The room is also designed for people participating in the autism project sponsored by ENAC, offering a more intimate and controlled place than the more crowded environments of the terminal. A dedicated corner has also been created for younger Travellers, while the lighting of the entire room is adjustable thanks to dimmable lights, so as to better adapt the environment to different needs.
More attention also to people with hearing loss
A magnetic induction amplification system is available at the check-in desk, designed to facilitate communication with people with hearing loss. Green corners and plants have been added to complete the spaces, with the aim of making the environment more welcoming and relaxing.
The reopening of the Sala Amica Mantegna in Milan Linate (LIN) therefore expands the services dedicated to passengers with specific needs, with solutions that intervene not only on physical accessibility, but also on sensory comfort, communication and the possibility of waiting for boarding in an environment more suited to one's needs.
