Alitalia resumed its international flights from Milan-Malpensa airport on Wednesday, after weeks of interruption due to the health crisis caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which killed nearly 35,000 people in Italy.
The airline, about to be nationalized after eleven years of financial difficulties, will provide routes to Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and London.
Milan-Linate airport, the second busiest in Italy before the Rome-Fiumicino crisis, will reopen on July 13, according to two sources familiar with the decision.
Alitalia should also serve a dozen destinations in Italy in July from Malpensa.
