Aeroitalia has launched its new Rome Fiumicino-Lublin route on which it will offer 12,000 seats this summer.
The first flight from Rome to Lublin
The ceremony at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport for the inaugural flight was attended by institutional representatives, industry operators and journalists. Federico Scriboni, aviation business development director of Aeroporti di Roma, pointed out that “The introduction of this new Aeroitalia flight will connect Rome to Lublin for the first time.”
Tuesday and Saturday B737-800 flights
Poland is one of the key European markets for Rome, which has seen its passenger flow double over the last five years, exceeding the historic threshold of 1.3 million passengers in 2024 and marking a growth of over 50% over the previous record in 2023. The new Rome-Lublin route will be operated twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, by a Boeing 737-800, with a total capacity of approximately 11,718 seats until the end of the summer season.
Ethnic traffic will play a role in the route’s success
“Lublin is a destination with excellent potential, especially for leisure travel, but it also attracts visitors from all over southern Italy,- said Massimo Di Perna, co-CEO of Aeroitalia. -Today, with the inaugural flight, we have 120 passengers arriving and 100 departing, while for 5 April the seats on board are all sold out. On the flights to and from Poland there will also be significant ethnic traffic, given that there is a large and well-established Polish community in Italy.”
