Alitalia will stop flying from Malpensa as of October 1. The last two flights of the company, which connect the airport in the province of Varese with Rome Fiumicino, will in fact be canceled and, as far as is known at the moment, not even rescheduled by Linate. This is what we learn from airport environments. It is the first time since the opening of the Páramos airport in 1948 that the national airline would run out of flights from Malpensa.
A story that lasted 70 years
Therefore, it could be flight Az01023, which will take off from Malpensa to Fiumicino on September 30 to interrupt a story that has lasted more than seventy years. The reasons for this choice lie in the impossibility of resuming intercontinental traffic. In fact, the connection between the second and the first Italian airports was used mainly as a shuttle for passengers coming mainly from New York and Tokyo. But there are also those who point out that it would not be the first time that Alitalia has abolished this type of shuttle between Milan and the capital. Interrupted on January 1, 2017, the connection was reestablished as of April 2018 with four flights a day, and then halved with the crisis caused by Covid. Finally, there is a lot of bitterness among the insiders of Malpensa 2000, the new terminal inaugurated in 1998 and which was designed as an operational base for Alitalia and imagined as an intercontinental hub.
Terzi (Minister of Infrastructure): the disconnection of Malpensa is unacceptable
“I regret the news that from October Alitalia will cancel flights between Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino. Therefore, the so-called national airline chooses to cancel the connections between the capital and the main airport in Lombardy and northern Italy. A bad choice that is not reconciled with the enormous state aid, also paid by the taxes of the Lombards, collected over the years by the company. I hope a rethinking: this separation is emblematic and unacceptable ”. The Regional Councilor for Infrastructure, Claudia Maria Terzi, thus commented on the news of the interruption of Alitalia flights between Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino as of October 1.
