Here’s a proposal that certainly counters the general trend we see in Europe when it comes to how regulators view the airline industry…
If you want to make a comparison in the United States, think of Washington National (DCA) and Washington Dulles (IAD). Linate Airport has a perimeter rule, so under current regulations, the maximum direct distance allowed for a flight is 1,500 kilometers (around 930 miles).
That brings us to the latest development, which is that Italy’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is considering opening Linate Airport up to long haul flights. There’s one major catch, though — only all-premium planes would be allowed, so these planes couldn’t have economy seats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
