ITA Airways celebrated the launch of its first route to the United Arab Emirates, with a daily direct flight connecting Rome Fiumicino to Dubai. The daily Rome-Dubai flight represents an important expansion for ITA Airways, integrating a strategic market of global importance into its network.

 

The daily connection operates according to the following schedule:

The flight is operated with the Airbus A321neo, the first narrow-body model in the ITA Airways fleet, which has reached a total of 100 aircraft. Configured in three classes – Business (12 seats), Premium Economy (12 seats) and Economy (141 seats, including 12 Comfort Economy seats) – the A321neo offers an efficient and quiet experience, with savings of 20% in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions per seat.
