The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 981 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots, but no headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Idroscalo Milan (Lombardia, Italy), and climbed from an altitude of 1,364 feet above sea level to 29,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,641 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of the Glärnisch-Firn (Kanton Glarus, Switzerland), and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Ofterdingen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany), and descended from an altitude of 28,782 feet above sea level to 10,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,522 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Miltenberg (Bavaria, Germany), and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles west of Altenbuch (Bavaria, Germany), and descended from an altitude of 9,980 feet above sea level to 1,645 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,335 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was from the east, with a heading of 250.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 131 knots.

The touchdown point was 393 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 49 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,562 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 299 nautical miles, and the flight took 70 minutes. The aircraft used 7,453 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
