The two Covid tested airplanes from New York and landed this morning at Malpensa with about 100 passengers on board represent "a very important signal" and "the start of the restart"
: this is how the Minister of Tourism Massimo Garavaglia, present at the Terminal, defined them 1 of the Lombard airport together with the president of the Region Attilio Fontana.
These are flights that allow you to avoid quarantine or fiduciary isolation on arrival thanks to the possibility of making an antigenic swab both on departure and on arrival and which for the moment can be used for health or work reasons, and not for tourism.
"This is an excellent initiative - said Garavaglia - it is the beginning of the restart. We know that the European green pass is about to arrive, a pass that basically with the pads will allow you to resume traveling. Here, this is the beginning and we start with Milan-New York which has a very, very important meaning "" It is the first flight ever from New York since the end of March 2020, it took a year to restart this crucial connection for people and for the economy - added Armando Brunini, CEO of Sea - We hope that the restrictions will be eased as soon as possible: if they are safe flights, they must also be used for those who fly for tourism ".
