Milan, a global fashion and art hub, is one of the world's design capitals, rich in historical and cultural significance and economic prominence. It is the birthplace of nearly half of the world's luxury brands and hosts many Italian fashion headquarters.

Through Milan, travelers can connect to numerous cities in Europe, Africa, and North America. The airport offers convenient services such as transit without visa and direct baggage transfer.

"The inauguration of the Chongqing-Milan international air route will positively influence the economic development and cultural exchanges between Chongqing and Milan," said a Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport representative. "It will also facilitate closer cooperation between China and Italy." 

He added that the airport would continue collaborating with the municipal government's port logistics office and other relevant departments to promote opening more international passenger routes, constructing a smooth and convenient "air bridge" for Chongqing's inland open economic development.

Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport boasts a robust network with 21 international (and regional) passenger routes, offering over 110 flights weekly. Destinations span Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, including cities like London, Paris, Sydney, and Dubai.
