It is known that to go on vacation to the U.S. you have to wait a little longer, currently there are not many categories of people who can travel to and from the U.S, workers with visa, students, residents, people with double passport are just some of the categories allowed.
The lucky ones who can instead move from the old to the new continent must have jumped for joy when they learned that April 3 will restart the connection between Milan Malpensa and New York, discontinued because of the pandemic after 12 months.
The extra step that has been taken is to ensure more security for passengers.

In this way, especially passengers who return from America will be able to avoid the quarantine compulsory currently provided for high-risk areas and especially for those returning from the United States.
"The result was the result of a joint effort with the Ministries of Health and Transport together with the Lombardy Region, whom we thank for their work in recent months. Milan-New York is the intercontinental destination with the highest number of frequencies and passengers.
