Arline carries over 13.5 million passengers between Italy and the U.S.
Delta is celebrating 25 years of service to the cities of Milan and Rome. The inaugural nonstop flights touched down from New York on Nov. 1, 1991. Since then the airline, which has grown its network between Italy and North America, has carried over 13.5 million passengers between Italy and United States.
“Our on-board product has developed enormously from when we started in 1991 adding entertainment, Wi-Fi and fully flat-bed seats but we still offer the same levels of customer service that have made us the favourite U.S. airline serving Italy,” said Patrizia Ribaga, Delta's Sales Manager - Italy. “Strong air links to the U.S. - such as Delta’s - are key to realizing benefits for the Italian economy in terms of exporting Italian goods to the U.S. as well as supporting inbound tourism to Italy.”
