ITA Airways is set to operate its new Airbus A321neo on the Rome Fiumicino–London Heathrow route from Friday (1 December).
Daily services will depart Rome at 14:00 and arrive in London at 16:30. Meanwhile, flights from the UK capital depart at 17:00 and land in Rome at 21:00.
The aircraft was initially scheduled to operate on the carrier’s Rome Fiumicino–Tel Aviv route as of 1 December 2023, however, in light of the current geopolitical situation, the carrier said “it became necessary to find an alternative use for the new aircraft”.
The A321neo is the latest aircraft to enter the Italian carrier’s fleet. The cabin features three travel classes: business class with 12 reclining seats, 12 seats in premium economy and economy class with 141 seats.
From 22 December to 9 January the aircraft will also fly three-times weekly to Paris Charles De Gaulle from the carrier’s Rome hub.
