It is precisely intercontinental destinations that are the main novelty of the summer season: flights to Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Tokyo will depart from Rome Fiumicino in the coming months.
In addition, the use on long-haul routes of the latest generation Airbus A330 and A350 aircraft confirms ITA Airways' fleet renewal plan., which progressively introduces more modern and efficient aircraft with greater carrying capacity and lower CO2 emissions.

The only intercontinental route from Milan Malpensa is the connection to JFK. Unfortunately, the announcement via social media of the opening of the new routes had been a miscommunication.
There will be eight A350s in the fleet
The structure of the fleet, which will be completely renewed within a couple of years, now seems to be defined. The spearhead will be the eight Airbus A350s that will enter service in the coming months. As we had mentioned months ago, ITA Airways management has rightly shopped in the world of KM0 aircraft.
In fact, they are models built between 2017 and 2019 and never actually entered service for Hainan, a Chinese company based in Hong Kong. The rest of the long-haul fleet will consist of. Airbus A330 900neo, now in fleet with Tap Portugal and many other companies or in order in many other carriers such as Virgin Atlantic.
