Low-cost airline easyJet has announced that it will open a new route in Porto during the winter, connecting the Portuguese city with Milan Linate Airport. The first flight will depart on 26 October.

The new route will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

"With this new route, easyJet is strengthening its commitment to the Portuguese market and mobility between Portugal and Italy, offering an alternative for those travelling to the city of Milan. Linate Airport is located just eight kilometres from the city centre, which represents a significant improvement in the offer for business travellers, in addition to complementing the existing connection between Porto and Milan Malpensa Airport, which already has daily flights," highlights the statement released by easyJet.
