Meridiana establishes its Hub at Malpensa
Following the acquisition of 49% of its shares by Qatar Airways, Meridiana, now Air Italy, announced that it is to establish its hub at Malpensa. It also presented a plan to expand its fleet with 50 new aircraft and increase its passengers from 2.5 to 10 million over 5 years. The network will also expand gradually, through destinations that will support new long-haul routes from Milan Malpensa to New York and Miami. These two new routes which will be launched next June will be preceded by new domestic routes operated in connection with intercontinental flights from Milan Malpensa and departing from Rome, Naples, Palermo, Catania and Lamezia Terme as from May 1. Next September, Air Italy will begin the Milan–Bangkok connection with four flights a week and three additional long-haul connections will be announced before the end of the year. The strategic plan also includes the increasing of short-haul flights and the reaching of 50 destinations served in a year by 2022.
