From the end of October, SKY express will be running direct flights from Athens to Milan, going from Athens International Airport to Malpensa International Airport.

The decision to open this route comes from responding to increase passenger demand, just a year a year after Rome joined SKY express ‘s international network of destinations.

With the inclusion of Milan in its international network, SKY express makes Italy the first European country to operate two destinations all year round.

Mr. Vassilis Krasanakis, Network Planning & Pricing Manager, SKY express said: Staying true to its vision of flying higher every year, SKY express further strengthens its presence in the Italian market, by launching the Athens – Milan direct route and now offering travellers a new, reliable, “green” and cost-effective option”.

“We welcome SKY express, a new carrier whose investment in our airport further expands Malpensa’s network. The new connections to Athens satisfy the traffic demand to European cities, like Milan, attracting the most dynamic and curious tourism that searches for a complete travel experience,” commented Mr. Andrea Tucci, Vice President Aviation Business Development, SEA Milan Airports
