Alitalia To Launch Its First Ever Direct Maldives Flight

Alitalia will launch its first ever scheduled direct flights between Italy and the Maldives on October 31.

Alitalia will be launching 3x weekly flights between Rome and Male as of October 31, 2017. The flight will be operated by an A330. Rome-Male service will operate for the whole winter season until 24 March 2018.

Cramer Ball, Alitalia’s Chief Executive Officer, said:

“The Maldives have been a popular tourist destination for years, especially in winter, and Italy is the fourth country in the world by the number of tourist arrivals to the marvelous archipelago of the Indian Ocean. Alitalia continues to enhance its intercontinental offer from Italy, identifying destinations with the greatest potential. With this in mind, we decided to launch a direct flight between Rome and Male as we’re convinced that the new route will further contribute to increasing Alitalia’s long-haul traffic”
