Big news for travelers heading from Italy to the United States: it is clear that ITA Airways will operate a small number of routes, other North American companies, on the other hand, are opening up New routes between our country and the U.S., and from next summer the range of options available to Italian tourists will be very diverse.

The latest development is that represented by United Airlines, the airline based in Chicago, which in the past week announced a new program to expand its travel offerings, with eight new direct transatlantic flights to the Old Continent and the Middle East, with one destination including Italy.
"We are asserting our position of U.S. flag carrier," Vice President Patrick Quayle said during a meeting with members of the press. "We want everyone to be motivated to travel to these exciting destinations. United Airlines' new routes include Amman, Jordan. In addition there are European trips to the Azores, Norway, Majorca, Tenerife, Berlin, Munich, and, indeed, Milan.
Here then are all the companies that will operate direct flights from Italy to the United States in the summer of 2022.
It is good to remember that the calendar, when it comes to flights, has two seasons: summer from late March to late October, winter from November to March.

One of the most well-known U.S. airlines obviously confirms the possibility of reaching destinations in North America from our country, with as many as three flights: one goes From Milan Malpensa to John Fitzgerald Kennedy in New York City., on a daily basis; another colleague Rome Fiumicino also at JFK, three times a week; and the third one leaves again from the Roman airport with direction Dallas Fort Worth, four times a week.

Delta Airlines
Delta is the second of America's "three sisters." Partners with Alitalia first and Ita Airways second. Now, albeit on a temporary basis, will allow codeshare flights from Italy to the U.S., thanks in part to the SkyTeam alliance.
Will double daily flights to New York from Milan and Rome and will resume operations from Venice. It will relaunch from May 1 the flight from Milan to Atlanta - route last operated in 2019 - and also the service from Venice. The flight from Atlanta to Rome, operated on an annual basis, will increase to twice a day. Finally always from May 1, the Rome - Boston flight will be active again.
United Airlines
The big news these days, as announced above. As of last October 14, the Illinois-originated airline allows daily travel between Italy and the United States. There is in fact a new flight Between Milan Malpensa and Chicago O'Hare International Airport..
A route that is in addition to the existing between Rome Fiumicino and Newark. A new expansion plan to Italy, that of United Airlines. The goal is to "plug the hole" left vacant by the dissolution of Alitalia, during this period of transition to ITA Airways.
Emirates
Another now-established company involved in flights from Italy to the United States is undoubtedly Emirates. The internationally renowned carrier has an entrenched presence in our country.
The Dubai-based airline flies to Italy on Rome, Milan, Bologna, and Venice. There is also a flight from Dubai that stops over in Milan and departs for New York.
This flight is very interesting both because it is the Only chance to go to New York on A380 from Italy and both because it is one of the cheapest to book using Skywards points as a mode of payment.
La Compagnie
An important new development for air travel from Italy was one recently announced by La Compagnie. This is a French flight company that specializes in travel with planes outfitted exclusively with business class seats.
The link between Milan Malpensa and Newark, in New Jersey, was supposed to leave these days, but the uncertainty of travel convinced management to Move the debut to next spring.
In conclusion
ITA has confirmed that it will fly from Milan Malpensa only to New York, all other routes will go through the Fiumicino hub. This leaves a huge space for other companies at the Lombardy airport, where in fact there will be 6 daily connections to the U.S. of which (perhaps) only one operated by ITA.
It is likely that we will see more routes to/from Italy from the U.S. in the coming months if international traffic returns to growth, as predicted by analysts. In the past there were flights from Venice, Bologna, and only Covid stopped the flight from Sicily to the U.S. that was to debut in summer 2020.
