Emirates is driving forward its operations in Europe by announcing a third daily flight to Milan from 1 June, taking to 49 the number of weekly flights offered to Italy by the airline.

'Our European network is growing stronger and stronger and a number of important developments are taking place in Italy,' said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates’ senior vice-president, commercial operations, Europe & Russian Federation. 'This is another significant investment in the Italian market and we look forward to offering further choice and excellent value for money to travellers and businesses, including the cargo community.'

The extra A330-200 flight brings an additional 15 tonnes of daily cargo capacity to an already active cargo route.

'Emirates' announcement of its third daily flight from Dubai to Malpensa represents the importance of the airport to the airline’s European network,' said Giuseppe Bonomi, president of Sea (Airport Management Company). 'The increase in the number of flights was made possible by the development of facilities and services dedicated to Emirates into the airport by Sea, contributing to the extraordinary quality of services the company offers to its passengers.'
