The “quarantine free” route commences on the 2nd of April 2021 – one day after day after the airline launches a similar operation to Rome Fiumicino. The services will enable customers eligible to travel to Italy to avoid the mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival, following a rigorous testing protocol before and after travel.
Delta started operating the COVID-tested flights began in December with the introduction of services from Atlanta to both Rome and Amsterdam (with Alitalia and KLM). The programme reassures customers to fly more safely and is a clear way forward to support global economic recovery while vaccination efforts against COVID-19 roll out worldwide.

On arrival at Milan Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino, customers will be asked to make their way to the testing facility within the airport terminal where medical professionals administer a rapid antigen test. If this is negative, they will not need to quarantine.
