Darwin Airline has opened a new European base at Cambridge airport with four new international routes in partnership with Alitalia.
The Swiss regional airline will fly from Cambridge to Amsterdam, Paris, Milan and Geneva.
The new services will be operated by Darwin Airline, in code-share partnership with SkyTeam member Alitalia.
Starting from September 2, Darwin Airline will be offering a total of 50 flights a week to and from Cambridge.
This will include a planned timetable of 24 weekly flights to and from Amsterdam; 12 weekly flights to and from Paris CDG (East Anglia’s only air service to the French capital); eight weekly flights to and from Milan Malpensa, and six weekly services to and from Darwin Airline’s main hub at Geneva.
Maurizio Merlo, CEO at Darwin Airline, added, "As we expand within Europe, the UK is a key market for us to further establish and we are delighted to open our new base in the heart of East England.
"Cambridge is at the forefront of several business sectors and spearheading the UK’s economic growth – it is thriving and vibrant, one of the UK’s most valuable and affluent markets."
