The eagerly awaited new Air Canada flight from Montreal to Naples took off on Saturday, 17 May.
The only direct connection between Canada and Naples
This is the only direct connection between Canada and the Neapolitan city, strengthening the carrier's 2025 summer schedule, and adding to its existing flights from Canada to Rome, Milan and Venice. Against a backdrop of rapid growth in the North American market for tourism to Italy, this connection significantly strengthens ties between the two countries, allowing travellers to complete US customs procedures while in transit in Montreal.
Four weekly Montreal-Naples flights
The seasonal flight will operate four times a week, departing from Naples every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday morning, with a flight time of just over nine hours. Flights from Montreal are scheduled every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening, arriving in Naples the following morning. A Boeing 787 Dreamliner configured in Signature Class, Premium Economy and Economy will be used on the route.
Air Canada is commited to the Italian market
“The new Naples-Montreal route got off to a successful start over the weekend, offering Italian travellers another opportunity to cross the Atlantic,- said Stefano Casaregola, Air Canada's general manager for Italy. -As the leading airline between Europe and Canada, Air Canada continues to demonstrate its commitment to the Italian market by creating new opportunities for tourism and business. This new route joins the flights already operated to Rome, Milan and Venice, and comes at a perfect time to allow Italians to discover the natural and urban wonders of Canada.”
“Naples is a privileged gateway to Southern Italy”
Roberto Barbieri, CEO of Gesac, added: ’The launch of the direct flight between Montreal and Naples is a significant milestone for Naples Airport and the entire region. We are proud to welcome Air Canada to our network, boosting the airport's intercontinental offering and enhancing connections with North America, a strategic area for tourism, business and cultural relations. Montreal, a major international hub and city with a strong Italian-Canadian presence, is now even closer, consolidating Naples' role as a privileged gateway to Southern Italy."
