Abu Dhabi– Starting with the summer schedule beginning on March 29, 2015, Alitalia will launch new routes from Milan Malpensa and Venice to Abu Dhabi, tripling its frequency to the Capital of the United Arab Emirates with a total of 42 round-trip flights between Italy and Abu Dhabi. The new Alitalia flights from Milan and Venice – in addition to Alitalia’s Rome Fiumicino – Abu Dhabi flight, which began on December 1, 2012 – will be in codeshare with Etihad Airways (Subject to the necessary government approvals), already providing service from Abu Dhabi to Rome and Milan. Alitalia’s new intercontinental flights will allow passengers departing from Northern Italy to reach the UAE directly, and to continue, via Abu Dhabi, to 27 destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia thanks to convenient connections on Etihad Airways.
