What
Via a special prorate agreement (SPA) with Alaska Airlines, Air Italy has added 10 new destinations to its network. The cities include Anchorage, Alaska; Honolulu; Las Vegas; Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Palm Springs, Calif.; Newark, N.J.; San Diego; San Jose, Calif.; and Guadalajara, Mexico.
Why It Matters
Air Italy passengers can now easily connect to Alaska Airlines’ network at Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York (JFK) airports, which Air Italy serves directly from Milan Malpensa Airport. Thanks to the SPA, more clients across North America — and particularly on the West Coast — will be able to access the Italian airline’s new product offerings.
Fast Facts
- The SPA builds on the launch of Air Italy’s nonstop flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco in April 2019 and to New York in 2018.
- Air Italy features a fleet of Airbus 330-200 aircraft offering 24 fully flatbed seats in business class and 228 seats in economy class.
- All inbound Air Italy passengers can take advantage of seamless domestic connections between Milan and central and southern Italy, including Rome, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Lamezia Terme, Cagliari and Olbia.
What They Are Saying
“Alaska Airlines is a well-respected renowned airline, and we’re delighted to partner with them to add these 10 destinations to our network,” said Rossen Dimitrov, chief operating officer for Air Italy. “The U.S., and particularly the West Coast, is a new and exciting market for us. This new opportunity with Alaska Airlines will now give our customers even more options to connect seamlessly onto our network from new markets such as the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii and Mexico. At the same time, this new development provides out Italy outbound passengers with a significantly expanded range of options across the West of the U.S. and Mexico, all of which delivers on our growth plan and brand promise to our customers.”
