Oct. 10 – “The fact that our new Milan – New York link is operated by such a prestigious company as Emirates is further evidence of the very high level of quality achieved by Ata Italia handling services, and it’s a positive sign for the development of Malpensa Airport, a stopover ATA believes in a lot,” says Mario Sisto, President of Ata Italia, one of the largest airport handling operators in Italy. Ata Italia was chosen by Emirates to manage the ground activities relating to the daily connection from Milan Malpensa to John F. Kennedy in New York, carried out with Boeing 777-300. This is the first connection that the UAE company has from Italy to the United States and it adds to the already established three daily Emirates flights from Malpensa airport to Dubai and two daily flights from Venice to Dubai. Emirates is part of a large group of major companies that work with Ata Italia in Milano Malpensa: Aeroflot, Air France KLM , British Airways, Iberia, Delta Airlines , Finnair , Swiss , Turkish Airlines , TAP Portugal , U.S. Airways, and Lufthansa.
