Air Italy connects Mumbai to Milan, targets 3 lakh flyers

One of Italy's newest airlines Air Italy has become the only commercial carrier to have a direct non-stop flight between Mumbai and Milan with the touch down of its inaugural flight on December 14.

The private airline with 49 percent control by middle eastern heavyweight Qatar Airways will have three flights a week from Mumbai in addition to three direct flights a week from Delhi that started last week.
A senior official from Air Italy said it is starting operations with the Airbus A330-200 aircraft and will look at Boeing 737 Max planes at later stages if there is need to expand operations in India.
The airline is offering 24 fully reclining flatbed seats in Business Class and 228 seats in Economy Class. Air Italy's Mumbai service offers connections to New York and Miami as well as domestically across Italy.
Air Italy has 15 aircraft currently and hopes to take the figure to 50 by 2022. The airline signed an interline agreement with Tata Group-promoted Vistara. It has a 'single digit' market share in Italy but a 40 percent share in Milan.
