Delta Air Lines is gearing up to make its debut in Naples in 2024 with bookings on the Naples – New York route progressing well.
“Naples and the Amalfi Coast are highly popular with Americans”
Frederic Schenk“We are thrilled to introduce this new flight for the summer, which is becoming an increasingly busy period for our transatlantic flights,- says Frederic Schenk, Delta’s regional sales manager Southern Europe. -Naples and the Amalfi Coast are highly popular with Americans and we anticipate robust demand from US travellers for our new flight, with an on-board ratio of approximately 30% Italian-70% American. Naples' strategic position in Southern Italy, coupled with the opportunity to connect to almost 70 destinations across America via our JFK hub, makes this route very appealing.”
Italy is one of Delta’s strategic markets in Europe
Italy has consistently been one of Delta's strategic markets in Europe, “Last year we carried around one million passengers between Italy and the United States. Delta's passengers typically belong to the premium segment, are high spenders and have a preference for premium travel experiences. This is why Delta has a unique advantage in entering the Naples market, acting as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast.”
Delta caters to passengers' travel needs
Delta offers various cabin experiences to cater to passengers' travel needs, ranging from business class, Delta One, which features a fully reclining seat bed, direct aisle access, and a comprehensive meal service, to the main cabin. Onboard amenities include on-demand Wi-Fi with free mobile messaging, entertainment on seat-back screens or personal devices, seat power, and USB ports.

Globally, Delta's Italian summer operations will be a 14% year-on-year increase between Italy and the United States. In addition to the new Naples flight, confirmed connections include Milan Malpensa from New York (year-round) and Atlanta; Rome from New York, Atlanta, Boston (year-round), and Detroit; Venice from New York and Atlanta.
