+Riccardo Sivo i completely understand - you waste so much time at the airport (and getting to amd from the airport adds at least another 2 hours to your journey).
Actually this route, like other domestic routes, are mostly considered as feeder for current and future Air Italy international flights leaving from MXP.
In older days, when new airline comes up, they had to spend A LOT to promote them, but in these days, plane enthusiasts like us do the things for them{partly}
Here in Italy, when we have to travel from Rome to Milan or vice-versa, we prefer to use the train, cause Malpensa and Fiumicino airports are too far from the city center (for example, to reach the center of Milan from MXP you take about 1h). So that's why you find not too many people on this flight!
+Michele Rivoltella i can understand - i would do the same - but i am a plane freak so i flew from Berlin to Rome just to be on this flight (it was special for me) :D
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos and you made a fantastic trip report! Thank you so much for this video! I personally will travel with air italy in September from Catania to Milan Malpensa, and I hope they will use their brand new 737 MAX!
The economy class seats look like Qatar airways ones.....because they are the Qatar's economy class seats (there was a hint, when you fliped the IFE remote around there was still some Arabic writing) and their business class as well. They are renting/leasing them from Qatar airways to bridge the gap untill their 787's arrive. So they are still Qatar airways planes but with a Air Italy livery slapped over it. Anyway nice vid mate.
Easyjet e Ryanair hanno già rinunciato ai voli Milano Roma e viceversa, per il semplice motivo che la gente preferisce il treno per via del collegamento rapido in centro città, è comodo il bagaglio lo hai vicino, puoi alzarti e correre per le carrozze per 2 ore e 55 minuti. Io quando andai a Roma presi l’aereo, costava solo 24 € a confronto del Frecciarossa che ne costava 80€ amo gli aerei ed un’oretta in più al check in non è nulla se il viaggio è solo di 1 ora
Another note: you write that you are taking off at 10:43, but you are not 23 min delayed. The scheduled time of departure (10:20) should correspond to the estimated Off-Block Time, it means the moment when the aircraft is pushes back. It's not the takeoff time. The delay is calculated from the scheduled to the actual OBT. Also, at the end, you write "Neos (TUI)" but actually Neos is not affiliated with TUI since 2004.
Nice video, glad to see a new airline in Italy, they need one after all the issues with Alitalia! Just an FYI though, the departure time of your flight is the time you pushback not the time you take off :-)
Air Italy is running a lot of ads in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s the first nonstop service to Italy out of SFO in quite some time. I am thinking about trying it out.
Wow, great TR! I really enjoyed it! You are the first vlogger who uploaded a TR on the new Air Italy! (First, the QR A320 and now the A330!). So lucky! You ask if the interior colors are similar to QR, but actually they haven't been changed! It's a shame that they don't put the antimacassars, since the headrest could become dirty!
Thank you very much! I didn't fly on the Qatar A320... But yes I am the first vlogger on the A330 I believe :D Probably they will put the antimacassars when they start "normal" operations.
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos Oops! So sorry! I made confusion with another youtuber who flew the opposite route, so I thought that was you! 😓 Apologise!
hi, good job, I like this video. I'm from Italy, i think there weren't so many people in this flight because other companies, like Alitalia, offer a lot of flights between MIlan and Rome every day and they're cheaper than Air Italy.
Really nice. Numbers of passengers tho, lol! Plane wouldnt even half full even if it was the 737 Max. Check out their 737 Max when it comes into service PlaneSpottingBerlin. Nice Cabin and like the seats. Cants wait for them to get the Dreamliner. We get Neos 767 (soon 787) flights here in Jamaica and also Blue Panorama both from Milan MXP. Means if I wanna get to Italy from Jamaica, dont have to do connected flights.
I will soon fly to the US on one of Air Italy's A330s, I really look forward to it! Although I'm very interested in planes, that will be my first intercontinental flight.
+Casey Planespotting thanks a lot mate! Guess italians take the train for this route since it is faster. Guess this is the reason Alitalia only uses an E175 on this route 😅
I flew the Qatar A330 and it is actually the same plane with different livery.. essentially even the crew uniform is the Qatari a part from the logo which is different
People take the train now. More efficient. Surprised at the good legroom. I thought they were low cost. Business is now flat beds? However their planes are old I think?
About the train it is true if you don't want to go the US for example and catch a connecting flight (cheaper than direct). Business Class is not fully flat I think - but Air Italy will announce it soon I guess. This aircraft is from Qatar Airways and is about 14.2 years old ;)
santinieve 1 I think it's to avoid too much Sun heating, white squares act like a mirror. so the airport can lower the Power of air conditioning and Save Money
Tolles Video und schön erklärt. Aber ich glaub kaum das sich der A330 auf der kurzen Strecke bezahlt macht. Da würde auch ein A321 oder ähnliches ausreichen.
Danke ;) Das war ein Crew Training Flight. Die A330 fliegt seit dem ersten Juni nach New York! Ähnliches hat z.B. Swiss mit der 777 gemacht (Zürich-Genf, Zürich-Hannover) oder British mit dem A380 (London - Frankfurt). Normalerweise setzen die eine 737-800 ein.
I like the livery but reminds me a bit of Eurowings I would have liked them to have used more red and green on the tail design because it looks a bit pale If they come to CGN, DUS or FRA I'll give them a try 😊
In der Tat eine sehr schicke Lackierung... Man darf gespannt sein, wie sich diese Änderung weiterentwickelt. Was das ein normaler Regionalzug mit dem du zum Airport FCO gefahren bist? Wie war der Fahrpreis, falls du das noch weißt?
+Stefan Schäfer sehr schöne Lackierung ja. Das war ein normal Regiozug zum Flughafen ja. Preis war mit 8€ pro Richtung für 1 Station (5min fahren) echt abgehoben....
Have you ever flown in business class? And could you tell me some advice on flying business for affordable prices? I see many bloggeers who fly in business class as if it was so simple, most of them i guess are not even that rich!
I have flown in Business class on very few flights - but sometimes you can find really great deals. Or what I mostly do to fly Business class is to buy an Economy Class ticket and then bid for an upgrade (not 100% safe you'll get it but most of the times much cheaper.)
well they haven't started their long haul flights yet. Also this route would only serve as connecting flight to the main hub Milan - and of course be operated by smaller aircrafts like the 737
it is not a given that only 24 passengers will show up - on the way there the 737 had more onboard (still not even half full). Alitalia also runs this route - but only with an E175 :D Thank you!
Nice video mate! But seriously since when the sick bag became a waste bag? I see ppl everyday throwing their coke cans into the sick bag. Completely wrong....
Dann hast Du ja richtig Glück gehabt im Gegensatz zu Deinen Kollegen von Simply Aviation.... Übrigens die Einrichtung ist komplett 1:1 von Qatar Airways.... Da wurden m. E. die Flieger nur umlackiert und rebranded...
+GJGBTL231 auf jeden Fall ;) aber auf der Route die Simply geflogen ist war keine A330 geplant - sie wollten ja mit der MD83 fliegen. Aber FlightExperience hat die Qatar A320 statt der Air Italy A330 auf dieser Route bekommen.

FCO-MXP Will never be a profitable route. Everybody prefers to take the high speed trains, like Frecciarossa or Italo.
+Riccardo Sivo i completely understand - you waste so much time at the airport (and getting to amd from the airport adds at least another 2 hours to your journey).
Actually this route, like other domestic routes, are mostly considered as feeder for current and future Air Italy international flights leaving from MXP.
I think they used this route to train cabin crew members
AirbusGuy 99 Yes this is surely the main reason.
yes but they operate 3 daily flights with a 737-800 anyways...
Best wishes to Air Italy. That livery is really great. Thanks for the excellent report. I just subscribed!
thanks a lot - and welcome :D
I really admire you’ve blurred peoples faces out... not everyone appreciates being on RUclips without knowing! Great video!
Yes ;)
Especially the flight crews.
Thanks for watching!

Congratulations on being the first reviewer of AirItaly's A-330. Nice review as well.
+RE Ohtz thank you! ;)
Great flight ✈️.
sadly they are not with us anymore... (bankrupt)
Thanks so much for that, really nicely done. And i really do love the new Air Italy. I hope they will succeed.
Welcome! Would be great to see them expand further ;)
The economy class seats look like Qatar airways ones.....because they are the Qatar's economy class seats (there was a hint, when you fliped the IFE remote around there was still some Arabic writing) and their business class as well.
They are renting/leasing them from Qatar airways to bridge the gap untill their 787's arrive.
So they are still Qatar airways planes but with a Air Italy livery slapped over it.
Anyway nice vid mate.
oh ok - i have never flown on Qatar Airways... (booked 4 flights on them next month ^^).
Thanks for watching ;)
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos
These were the old seats so you should have a newer product when you fly them :)
Qatar airways owns 49% of air Italy but shares.
I also went to Qatar Airways to go to Rome and Dhaka
I love Air Italy's colours! Great video! :D
Great trip reportl. Well done sir.
Awesome video! I'm taking this on an Air Italy 737 soon!
That livery looks gorgeous on the A330, i Even subbed because of your quality :p
thanks a lot!
new Trip Reports every week ;)
Oo Nice
Thank you very much I was looking for a video like this representing their a330 as I will fly from Miami to Milano in June
welcome ;)
Hope you have a great flight!
Nice report ,i liked your video
A330 is a beautiful bird that goes well with every livery. Air Italy has a really good branding indeed, even if Meridiana will be missed.
yes i agree the livery and brand name is very good!
It...it..looks beautiful!
i agree!
Livery looks awesome! Epic trip report, enjoyed it a lot as always :D
thank you!!
Sehr schönes Video.... Danke schön...
Vielen Dank!
Amazing trip report!!! Looks like a great airline!! Hope to fly on them one day!! Liked!!
thanks a lot!
Empty flights are the best! It's a shame that this flight was empty- the interior and exterior are very beautiful!
thanks!
I agree the livery and cabin is very nice - as for the flight - probably the train is quicker on this route.
Excellent flight report, very accurate, thank you!
I also should have flown with this plane but at last they swapped with an old Meridiana B738.
thank you!
Like I said i was very lucky - my flight the day before also got changed to the 737 - at least now I have both - the A330 and 737 :D
My congratulation, excellent trip report.
I wish good luck to Air Italy and its new hub.
thank you very much!!
Gorgeous airplane! Liked
thank you!
Great video mate !
thanks a lot!
Great trip report, I hope the best for Air Italy!
thank you!
The new livery looks so beutifull! 😍 Hope to fly with them one day!
That's an ex qatar a330 also air italy cabin crew has qatar airways uniform. BTW excited for the launch of air italy!
Good to know - have never flown on Qatar yet - but next month I will :D
Awesome report!
Thanks a lot!
Great videos bro...keep it up
thank a lot!
Super video!!
Easyjet e Ryanair hanno già rinunciato ai voli Milano Roma e viceversa, per il semplice motivo che la gente preferisce il treno per via del collegamento rapido in centro città, è comodo il bagaglio lo hai vicino, puoi alzarti e correre per le carrozze per 2 ore e 55 minuti. Io quando andai a Roma presi l’aereo, costava solo 24 € a confronto del Frecciarossa che ne costava 80€ amo gli aerei ed un’oretta in più al check in non è nulla se il viaggio è solo di 1 ora

yep - both of your points are correct ;) will keep that in mind for next time :D
i like the livery looks very modern and doesn't look cheap at all...
i agree - really nice livery!
Wow echt toller Report
+AviationTube Intercontinental vielen Dank! ;)
Nice video, glad to see a new airline in Italy, they need one after all the issues with Alitalia! Just an FYI though, the departure time of your flight is the time you pushback not the time you take off :-)
thanks a lot!
Yes - others have noted that as well - keep that in mind for next time :D
Air Italy is running a lot of ads in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s the first nonstop service to Italy out of SFO in quite some time. I am thinking about trying it out.
Wow, great TR! I really enjoyed it! You are the first vlogger who uploaded a TR on the new Air Italy! (First, the QR A320 and now the A330!). So lucky! You ask if the interior colors are similar to QR, but actually they haven't been changed! It's a shame that they don't put the antimacassars, since the headrest could become dirty!
Thank you very much!
I didn't fly on the Qatar A320... But yes I am the first vlogger on the A330 I believe :D
Probably they will put the antimacassars when they start "normal" operations.
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos Oops! So sorry! I made confusion with another youtuber who flew the opposite route, so I thought that was you! 😓 Apologise!
no problem :D I also flew on the MXP-FCO but it was operated by the "old" Meridiana 737-800. (not uploaded yet)
hi, good job, I like this video. I'm from Italy, i think there weren't so many people in this flight because other companies, like Alitalia, offer a lot of flights between MIlan and Rome every day and they're cheaper than Air Italy.
Hey man, great video. Looks like you've earned a new subscriber :)
Thanks for the video👍 I love their pilot uniforms😬👍
+Giovanni Betti welcome! Yeah - also the cabin crew has a nice uniform!
Great report mate, it's almost as if you chartered the flight to Milan!
haha :D
Thanks a lot!
Really nice. Numbers of passengers tho, lol! Plane wouldnt even half full even if it was the 737 Max. Check out their 737 Max when it comes into service PlaneSpottingBerlin. Nice Cabin and like the seats. Cants wait for them to get the Dreamliner. We get Neos 767 (soon 787) flights here in Jamaica and also Blue Panorama both from Milan MXP. Means if I wanna get to Italy from Jamaica, dont have to do connected flights.
Nice colors Air Italy
i agree!
Nice trip report! By the way, the IFE is identical to that of Qatar airways
I will soon fly to the US on one of Air Italy's A330s, I really look forward to it! Although I'm very interested in planes, that will be my first intercontinental flight.
Awesome video! =D
thanks a lot!
Again, extra speed in take off and landing! A nightmare!
Really nice thank you
you are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Yes the cabin is Qatar Airways. At least they got a plane with a recent IFE (there are some A330 with much older system in Qatar airfleet).
ok - good to know!
Just Neos is not TUI, although looks may be deceiving. It's property of Italian travel group Alpitour @PlaneSpottingBerlin
Very nice, I liked it, amazing to see an A330 flight so empty haha, looks so bizarre
+Casey Planespotting thanks a lot mate!
Guess italians take the train for this route since it is faster. Guess this is the reason Alitalia only uses an E175 on this route 😅
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos you got it right ahahahahahaah
I flew the Qatar A330 and it is actually the same plane with different livery.. essentially even the crew uniform is the Qatari a part from the logo which is different
ok - good to know ;)
I will try Qatar Airways next month!
Please offer low-cost flights to London! Bravissimi!!! 🇮🇹😘
I hope it is reliable
What airline was that a350 coming into land in Milan?
+Gareth Gibbs Singapore Airlines ;)
good video :)
thank you!!
Great video! I will be interesting to see how this airline does.
What editing software do you use?
+Nickolay Av thank you! I use Camtasia Studio 8
The airplane on the route Milan-Rome aren’t empity because all take the train... it’s more cheap and do Milano to Rome in only 3 hour
People take the train now. More efficient. Surprised at the good legroom. I thought they were low cost. Business is now flat beds? However their planes are old I think?
About the train it is true if you don't want to go the US for example and catch a connecting flight (cheaper than direct). Business Class is not fully flat I think - but Air Italy will announce it soon I guess.
This aircraft is from Qatar Airways and is about 14.2 years old ;)
The livery looks like from Eurowings and the seats from Qatar airways
airitaly was a mix of Meridiana and qatar airways, that's why
i was very disappointed from the FCO windows , you couldn't see anything
haha - me too...
Do you know why many airports like to do that? Its annoying
santinieve 1 I think it's to avoid too much Sun heating, white squares act like a mirror. so the airport can lower the Power of air conditioning and Save Money
exactly - but still i would like to be able to see some aircrafts :D
Out of curiosity, was this filmed on 24 May? If so, I was on that A330 D-AIKE out to Frankfurt :D
+Jason Kong yes it was :D
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos niceeeeee 😂
Tolles Video und schön erklärt.
Aber ich glaub kaum das sich der A330 auf der kurzen Strecke bezahlt macht. Da würde auch ein A321 oder ähnliches ausreichen.

Are they gonna retire there a330-300
Qatar airways will be connected to so many european cities with this new airline. Great strategy
And yeah the cabin is 100% from qatar airways
I like the livery but reminds me a bit of Eurowings
I would have liked them to have used more red and green on the tail design because it looks a bit pale
If they come to CGN, DUS or FRA I'll give them a try 😊
+sushi777300 thank you!
I don't think they will fly to these airports but who knows ;)
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos I'm sure QR got big plans for them. I'm confident
we'll see :D
A330 is an huge airplane! Why do they use it for such a short flight?
It was for Crew Training as they will start long haul flights in June!
Of course like Qatar because this A330 is from Qatar fleet :)
yes - I just wasn't sure since I haven't been on any Qatar flight yet. Also I thought they will get a new interior...
This is the Qatar airways new a330 cabin
Ok. I have never flown on Qatar Airways. But next month I will
Neos has nothing to do with Tui..
oh sorry - my mistake - but it used to be until 2004 haha :D
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos no problem :)
Ottimo video. Peccato tu non sia stato in cabina di pilotaggio
Such an empty flight, a little bit jealous but still feel happy for you😂
haha :D - it was really weird - there was probably more crew than PAX onboard!
In der Tat eine sehr schicke Lackierung...
Man darf gespannt sein, wie sich diese Änderung weiterentwickelt.
Was das ein normaler Regionalzug mit dem du zum Airport FCO gefahren bist?
Wie war der Fahrpreis, falls du das noch weißt?
+Stefan Schäfer sehr schöne Lackierung ja. Das war ein normal Regiozug zum Flughafen ja. Preis war mit 8€ pro Richtung für 1 Station (5min fahren) echt abgehoben....
I like the livery of Alitalia slightly better...
the new livery of Alitalia is very nice too - i agree.
Can anyone tell me the name of the music???
I have flown Qatar airbus 330 from milan to doha and its so beautiful, so sad they are removig them to accomodate airbus 350 and bpeing 787
I haven't flown on any Qatar yet but I will do it next monts! On 4 different aircraft types :D
Have you ever flown in business class? And could you tell me some advice on flying business for affordable prices? I see many bloggeers who fly in business class as if it was so simple, most of them i guess are not even that rich!
I have flown in Business class on very few flights - but sometimes you can find really great deals. Or what I mostly do to fly Business class is to buy an Economy Class ticket and then bid for an upgrade (not 100% safe you'll get it but most of the times much cheaper.)
+PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos do you check prices on SKYSCANNER?
4.28 lufthansa a330 at FCO🤔
yes. Looks like it was a busy flight and so they upgraded to an A330-300.
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos i think its the first time that appened
Già viaggia in perfetta perdita...
Qatar airways owns 49% of air Italy shares.
only 24 passengers 😱 .
i hope QR not like EY in investing to other airlines .
hope they will full passengers in the future .
well they haven't started their long haul flights yet. Also this route would only serve as connecting flight to the main hub Milan - and of course be operated by smaller aircrafts like the 737
PlaneSpottingBerlin ✈ Aviation Videos yeah even though they operated with 737, still terrific if they only carry 24 passengers. btw, great video .
it is not a given that only 24 passengers will show up - on the way there the 737 had more onboard (still not even half full).
Alitalia also runs this route - but only with an E175 :D
Thank you!
Wo wollen die mit dem A330 fliegen???
Planned is first New York, Miami - later Bangkok (October) and unconfirmed is Delhi - all from Milan MXP :D
The Lufthansa logo is just same as Biman Bangladesh Airlines. By the Way did you know Biman Bangladesh Airlines?
I know them. I even have videos on here. Just have not flown them so far.
RIP Air Italy
Those windows at FCo are not spotters friendly unfortunately.... Great video however
Why is it so funny to see a Ryan air plane
Basically Qatar airways with different Livery!
Finally a great company in Italy.....
usare un a330 per un roma milano mi sembra un po’ uno spreco...
Haha! why did you stay in your seat if it was empty! I would have gone to every single window and look at the best seat.
+santinieve 1 i changed from 26A to 25A - which was exactly what wanted ;)
I need go to francis
Man the interior isn't similiar. Indeed it is a qatar airways aircraft
ok - i didn't know that because I have not yet flown on any Qatar aircrafts. (+ I thought they will launch their own product)
RIP AIR ITALY
34000FT max on this flight & 442kts
Nice video mate!
But seriously since when the sick bag became a waste bag? I see ppl everyday throwing their coke cans into the sick bag. Completely wrong....
Thank you!
sick bag or waste bag - I don't care as I don't use it anyways :D
😍😍
Adoro!
Grazie mille!
😉
the airitaly a330 is the old qatar airways a330 XD
yes
