(Adnkronos) - Wizz Air presenta la sua prima tratta intercontinentale low cost. Collegherà quotidianamente Milano Malpensa e Abu Dhabi con tariffe a partire da 99,99 euro ed una durata di 7 ore. Il velivolo che effettuerà questa tratta, l’Airbus A321XLR, è il più efficiente dal punto di vista dei costi della sua categoria e si stima che la sua carbon intensity sarà almeno il 30% inferiore rispetto a quella di altri vettori sulle stesse rotte.

00:00Wizz Air inaugurates low-cost intercontinental flights at the Milan-Malpensa airport.
00:09From June 2, 2025, the new Airbus A321XLR will daily connect Malpensa to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
00:18An important announcement, the one made in Milan by the third air company in Italy, the most sustainable globally,
00:24which opens the way to many other flights that will take advantage of the greater autonomy and efficiency of the new aircraft carrier.
00:31We are very excited. I mean, first of all, we are very excited to have presented today our first low-cost intercontinental flight from Milan-Malpensa to Abu Dhabi.
00:39Malpensa's airport is our first operational base in Italy. We opened it in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and it has performed very well.
00:48To date, our passenger traffic in Milan has increased by more than five times compared to the pre-pandemic period, and it has therefore been a very successful investment.
00:57This is an act that changes the economy of the flights, and I would agree that, having surveyed the current state of the market,
01:14we believe that we can be competitive thanks to the tariffs contained, so people will be able to afford it.
01:23The choice of Wizz Air to operate from Malpensa the first Airbus A321XLR based in Italy confirms the role of the airport in the development of new business models.
01:34We have a strategic meaning because it demonstrates the potential and the power of the Malpensa market and of Milan and Lombardy on long-haul flights.
01:46As I said before, we do not have a flag vector that is a hub in Malpensa, despite the fact that we have many long-haul destinations.
01:57Vectors such as Wizz Air, which introduce innovative machines such as this, will have the opportunity to introduce, in this case, an already existing route,
02:07but there will certainly be space to operate new routes, further strengthening our positioning that qualifies Malpensa and offers opportunities to citizens and tourists who can more easily arrive in Milan.
