Delta Air Lines will debut on the Naples-New York JFK route from Saturday 25 May.
This summer Delta has its largest ever transatlantic network
“After Rome, Milan and Venice, Naples will be the fourth Italian city served by Delta from the U.S.,- said Matteo Curcio, Delta's senior vice president for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. -Naples, along with the Campania region and the Amalfi Coast, is a popular destination for the U.S. market, and we are convinced that our service will benefit the region's economy in terms of inbound tourism, in addition to offering greater connectivity from Naples to the U.S. than any other carrier. Italy is a very important market for Delta and this summer we will be flying our largest ever transatlantic network.”
“A quality network, made up of 116 destinations”
The new daily flight returning to the US will allow passengers to continue their journey from JFK to more than 70 destinations throughout North America. This summer the airline is increasing its flight offerings from Italy to the US by 17% year-on-year; Delta carried more than one million passengers between the two countries in 2023."We are thrilled to have reactivated, thanks to Delta, the daily Naples-New York JFK flight and proud of the enormous work done to boost the connectivity of the Neapolitan airport,- commented Roberto Barbieri, managing director of Gesac. -The new route responds to a strategic vision that favours a quality network, made up of 116 destinations, 20 of which are hubs from which it is possible to reach any part of the world with a single transit. With the entry of Delta, the partnership with the Air France-KLM group is strengthened and the intercontinental market segment is consolidated, which is fundamental for the development of tourist flows between the United States and southern Italy."
A 211-seat Boeing 767-300 on the route
"As an American who has been living and working in Naples for almost two years,- remarked US Consul General Tracy Roberts-Pounds, -I realise that there is a special bond between Naples and New York, so I congratulate Delta Air Lines on having made a winning choice.” Delta will operate a 211-seat Boeing 767-300 on the route, configured with Delta One - with fully reclining seats -, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin classes.
Delta Air Lines will operate up to 94 Italy-US weekly flights
At the peak of summer 2024, the carrier will operate up to 94 weekly flights between Italy and the US. In addition to the Naples route, Delta's overall schedule will include direct connections to from Rome Fiumicino to New York JFK, Atlanta, Boston and Detroit, from Milan Malpensa to New York-JFK and Atlanta, and from Venice Marco Polo to New York-JFK and Atlanta.
