Aegean is to reintroduce its flights from Athens to Bari after a few years of absence.
Three weekly Athens-Bari flights
The Greek airline is restoring its seasonal connection from Athens, which will operate three times a week on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays from late June to early September. This route further strengthens Bari airport's international offering, confirming the central role of Puglia’s airport in the strategies of carriers investing in the region.
“Strengthening the region's international connectivity”
“The return of Aegean is an important opportunity for growth in passenger traffic and a concrete sign of the confidence that carriers continue to place in our airport system,- said the president of Aeroporti di Puglia, Antonio Maria Vasile. -The connection with Athens, an important European capital and strategic hub, is not just a flight, but a union between two areas that are very similar in terms of culture, food and wine, and tourism. We work every day to achieve these extraordinary and by no means predictable results, and I believe that this milestone is a fitting recognition of the commitment of those who work daily to improve the quality of services and the efficiency of airport. With this operation, Aeroporti di Puglia reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the region's international connectivity, promoting tourist flows, business opportunities and cultural exchanges between Puglia and Europe.”
“Making Puglia increasingly…competitive”
“The resumption of three weekly flights between Athens and Bari, strengthens a strategic link in the heart of the Mediterranean and Puglia's international centrality,- said regional councillor for infrastructure and mobility Raffaele Piemontese. -This is a route that connects two territories with a long history of cultural, economic and tourist exchanges and which today responds to a strong demand for mobility, promoting the attractiveness of our airport system. We continue to work to make Puglia increasingly accessible, connected and competitive in the major European flows."
