Air France-KLM Considering Direct Flights From Milan To New York

Air France-KLM wants to launch services between Milan Linate and New York, Chief Executive Benjamin Smith said this week in an interview with Corriere della Sera on the sidelines of the Airlines for Europe conference in Brussels. The services would be operated by Airbus A321neos given runway constraints at the Italian airport, but there is yet another obstacle stopping the airline from launching them: Milan Linate's peculiar flight distance limits.
