DALLAS - ITA Airways (AZ) launches the Rome-Miami service with three weekly roundtrip flights in March, five weekly flights in April, and daily flights in June.
To commemorate the start of the service by Italy's new national airline, authorities from Miami-Dade County and AZ held a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday March 1 at Miami International Airport (MIA).
Prior to the pandemic, Italy was one of MIA's top 20 overseas markets, with nearly 400,000 total passengers in 2019. Italy is not currently served by any other airline at MIA.
