Air Corsica returns to Italy this summer, investing in a new seasonal route from Ajaccio – the company’s home base - to Rome, the only direct air link between the French island and Italy.
The airline will operate the two weekly flights, each Monday and Friday, from 1 July to 29 August. The flights will be operated by Airbus A320s. Air Corsica was the first carrier in France to use it this type of aircraft.
New European routes
The launch of these seasonal routes is part of Air Corsica’s development plan following two years marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes the opening of new routes to Europe and the restart of those suspended during the health crisis. For the summer of 2022, starting from 2 April, the network will in fact have twelve international routes to six countries. This totals 150,000 seats in addition to the twelve permanent public-service routes and domestic routes outside the public service.
“We are at the heart of Europe”
"Air Corsica is pursuing its network diversification objectives to go beyond public service routes - said President, Luc Bereni - we are taking on a new dimension that places us at the heart of Europe.” The new 2022 operations position the airline as the leading carrier operating international flights from Corsica, both in terms of the number of routes and of the countries directly connected to the island.
