The new route responds to a strategic vision that favors a quality network, made up of 116 destinations, of which 20 hubs from which, thanks to the capillarity of connections, it is possible to reach, with a single transit, any part of the world.

I would advise anyone traveling on this new flight to consider New York not only as their final destination, but also as a gateway to many other destinations in the United States. Ours is a vast country, and each state, each city has different and equally fascinating characteristics”.
