Italian airline Air One will launch new flights from Milan to Boston and Chicago in June and is also considering services to other US cities including New York, Washington and Miami.

Privately held Air One said its intercontinental connections will operate as codeshares with United Airlines.

"At the moment we are analyzing all the opportunities," Giorgio De Roni, Air One's head of marketing, said on Thursday.

"New York is on the priority list, Miami might be a good destination -- maybe Washington... and California."

Air One's inaugural flight to Boston will arrive at Logan Airport on Saturday, June 14, and will fly daily, excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The first flight to Chicago will arrive at O'Hare Airport on Saturday, June 21, and operate daily, excluding Wednesdays.
