Comments: 

In 2017, the P2P demand between KWI and MXP was 15,000 round trip passengers. The route's schedule shows that it will be largely catering to transfer markets such as MNL, Indian Subcontinent, Dubai and JED. 

Cargo demand will be huge from all across the network but overall from a commercial perspective, it will be a struggle competing against the multiple daily services of TK, EK and QR + daily WY + EY.
