We have ambitious objectives and aim to consolidate, flight following flight, our activity on the Italian market, which has always had absolutely strategic importance for Volotea. But not only that: the agreement with Atitech represents a further important step for our presence in Naples, an area in which we will continue to invest and which also confirms itself as a focal point for our business for this 2024».
