Òop Alitalia marketing executives presented at the Italian Tourism Exchange BIT in Milan the new features of the airline’s 2010 summer schedule and Air One’s new service from Malpensa. According to the new summer schedule, which went into action effective from 28 March, the Alitalia Group will fly to 82 destinations with 140 routes and approximately 2500 weekly frequencies, increasing the number of seats available per kilometer flown by 5.5% compared to the 2009 summer season. Also, the airline will provide service to 14 intercontinental destinations, 40 international destinations and an even wider coverage of the domestic network with 28 destinations served. 


From and to Malpensa, the new Smart Carrier Air One will offer service at extremely competitive prices but with a level of service superior to that of low-cost carriers. Passengers will receive, without additional charges, seat booking, baggage check-in, MilleMiglia miles, web and airport check-in, with the possibility of purchasing tickets both directly on the new Internet site and through travel agencies.


Air One will provide service out of Malpensa with over 200 flights weekly (up to 250 flights in July and August) with a fleet of five of the latest generation Airbus A320, with seating for 180 passengers. Thanks to the new integrated service, Alitalia forecasts doubling of its passenger traffic at Malpensa in three years: from 1.5mln in 2009 to 3mln in 2012. In 2010, the airline will receive delivery of 10 new A320s for short- and medium-haul service and the first two new A330s will be stationed in Malpensa starting in June for intercontinental flights.


The new A330 will be Alitalia’s top-of-the-line aircraft, thanks to a completely restyled cabin with new important features. Alitalia also presented a new line of products dedicated to corporate customers and new solutions for travel agencies. Alitalia has also dedicated its new Internet site www.alitaliatrade.it to “non-IATA” travel agencies, thanks to which travel agencies can have a direct and advantageous relationship with Alitalia’s business units.
