Estonian Air to add flights to Milan due to EXPO 2015
Estonian Air flights between Tallinn and Milan will be operated twice a week on Tuesdays and Sundays from 21 April to 1 November 2015.
Opening the route between Tallinn and Milan is very much related to the World Expo 2015 taking place in Milan, which is one of the most important events in the world. For such a small country like Estonia participation on EXPO is crucial, where many Estonian companies are expected to take part. The same time Milan can offer a lot to holiday travellers, who value fashion, art and design, explained Indrek Randveer, the CCO of Estonian Air. "The positive results of traffic figures of the summer season 2014, have given us confidence to add a new destination into our flight network. As more customers fly with Estonian Air, the more we can improve the choice of flight destinations important for Estonians," added Randveer.
Milan, the capital of Lombardy and the main industrial, commercial, and financial center of Italy, will host the World Expo 2015 from 1st May to 31 October 2015.
Estonian Air, Estonia’s national carrier, is the biggest operator at Tallinn Airport. The airline flies regular routes to Stockholm (Arlanda and Bromma), Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Oslo, Moscow, Munich, St Petersburg, Kiev, Vilnius and Trondheim. In addition, until the end September, Estonian Air flies to Nice and Split and until the end of October to Berlin. From December 2014 to March 2015, Estonian Air will add seasonal flights to Munich.
