Milán, Italy.- During his visit to the Dominican Chamber of Commerce stand at the Milan BIT 2025 Fair, Giuseppe Gentile, former owner of Air Italy, announced plans for a new airline connecting Italy and the Dominican Republic. He aims to offer improved services over previous operations, with all necessary permits expected to be secured by mid-year and flights commencing before the end of 2025.
Gentile, a pioneer in launching flights on the Italy-Dominican Republic route, expressed enthusiasm about returning to the market. Initially, the airline will operate with smaller aircraft before introducing Boeing 777s, which offer advanced technology and a 16-hour flight range. He emphasized that human error remains the main cause of aviation issues and highlighted advancements in modern aircraft technology.
Supporting open skies agreements, Gentile sees no conflict between Italy’s aviation industry and the recently signed agreement between the Dominican Republic and the United States. His project is expected to strengthen air connectivity and boost tourism between both nations.
