easyJet strengthens its presence at Linate and increases its orange fleet to 5 planes

The British airline easyJet strengthens its presence in the Milan airport with 5 aircraft and fully managed operations. This can be read in a note which explains that with the conclusion of the 'wet lease' agreement with ITA, i.e. the rental contract for planes and crews, 2 additional easyJet Airbus A320s will arrive at the airport, bringing the total to 5 and creating "around 80 jobs".

In this way the British carrier confirms itself as the second company in the Milanese airport and thus completes the path started with the opening of the base in April 2025.

"With the opening of the Linate base - explains easyJet country manager Lorenzo Lagorio - we wanted to expand the travel possibilities from the most accessible airport close to the heart of Milan, as well as the reference airport for business and premium customers who travel every day between Milan and the main European cities". "To Linate - he underlines - we have brought the quality of the easyJet service, competitive fares and a rich portfolio of connections, while at the same time consolidating our role as the reference airline for Milan".

"In this first year and a half - concludes the manager - we have continued to strengthen our presence at the airport and the conclusion of the 'wet lease' agreement is an important stage in our project to make Milan increasingly orange".
