Russian and Italian aviation authorities have agreed to amend their bilateral agreement, adding one more designated carrier from Russia and Italy on the Moscow-Rome (FCO) and Moscow-Milan (MXP) routes. Until now only two carriers, Russian Aeroflot (SU) and Alitalia (AZ), could fly between these destinations.
According to industry experts, authorities have agreed to add 21 frequencies a week from each country on both routes. The final document has not yet been signed but final approval is expected soon.
Russian Transaero Airline (UN) tried last year to launch charter flights from Moscow Domodedovo (DME) to FCO and MXP for the New Year’s holiday but Russian aviation authorities withdrew permission and the carrier had to operate the flights to the closest cities to FCO and MXP. The carrier has brought legal action against the authorities.
