In early March 2024, the Italian company SEA Milan Airpots announced that it would provide upgrades to the imagery of the facilities at Linate Airport located in Milan and Malpensa Airport located in Ferno, the last time Google photographed these airports in May and June 2014 respectively with Gen 3 cameras. This time the upgrades will be carried out with Gen 4 cameras that have a better resolution.

Special guests these days at #Linate and #Malpensa airports! Thanks to young explorers equipped with the #Trekker, a hand-held camera system ready to capture every nook and cranny of our airports and thus contribute to the #GoogleMaps and Google Live View project within our airports.

Another important addition is the Václav Havel Airport in the city of Prague, one of the first airports in the country to receive new images for the Czech Republic, which confirmed that for this year they were going to launch images of the interior of the airport to improve navigation. Unlike the Italian airports, this Czech airport has not yet been photographed by Google. (Source: Prague Airport Projects)
