Emirates has asked Italy’s civil aviation authority (ENAC) to extend its fifth‑freedom rights to add a Milan‑Lima segment to its existing Milan‑New York service, and it operates three daily Dubai‑Milan flights using an A350 and two A380s.
Neos, Aeroitalia and ITA Airways have written to ENAC officials on 8 October urging the regulator not to grant the rights, while the Lombardy region and Peru’s Ministry of Transport support the Emirates route, and about 150,000 passengers travel annually between Milan and Lima with stopovers via Madrid, Paris or Amsterdam.
