Neos, owned by Alpitour World, sent a letter on 8 October 2026 to Italy’s civil aviation authority Enac, signed by president Lupo Rattazzi, to oppose granting Emirates additional fifth‑freedom traffic rights on the Milan Malpensa–Lima route.
ITA Airways and Aeroitalia also requested Enac not to approve the extension, while Emirates seeks to add Lima to its existing Milan‑New York fifth‑freedom service, a move Neos warned could gradually turn Milan into a European long‑haul hub.
