The carrier already flies from Edinburgh to Milan's Malpensa airport and the added route will give customers more choice when it comes to holidays and business trips to Italy.
The route, which will begin flying on March 30, 2025, has been enabled by the opening of a five aircraft base at Linate next spring. This follows approval by the European Commission for easyJet to be the short haul carrier of slots in Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino, as part of the transaction between ITA Airways and Lufthansa.
It's another boost to Scots holidaymakers as the airline has, launched seven new routes from Scotland in the past month. These include Zurich, Olbia, Düsseldorf, Marrakech, and Enfidha from Edinburgh, and Reus and Antalya from Glasgow.
