easyJet made its debut a few days ago at the new Salerno-Costa d'Amalfi Airport, and is looking to invest further in Naples.
easyJet’s Milan-Salerno confirmed year-round
The Campania region confirms itself as the market of choice for easyJet in Italy The Salerno airport debut “is a start,- says Lorenzo Lagorio, easyJet's Italy country manager, - this is a test phase, which will allow us to adjust for the winter. We are starting with five routes (from Milan Malpensa, Basel, Geneva, Berlin and London Gatwick) but for now the only confirmed annual flight is the one from Milan, currently operating three times a week, which will drop to two in the winter. But the airport's catchment area is wide and has great potential, so leaving the routes time to mature our aim is to increase frequencies.”
“We have added an 8th aircraft to Naples”
"Naples is our second base in Italy, and we have added an aircraft - the eighth – with capacity up 14% over 2023, and a seat offer for the year exceeding 3.7 million. But it is also an airport where slots are limited, so the addition of Salerno is an interesting opportunity. Of course there will be complementarity between the two airports, bearing in mind, however, that they are totally different in size. We operate 46 routes on Naples Capodichino in the summer, with a capacity of 2.8 million seats, while at Salerno we have 50,000 seats on sale.”
easyJet flights to leisure destinations from Salerno
Naples airport is also seen as a connecting hub for passengers from the United States. “Our crews are pointing out that an increasing number of American passengers arriving with flights from US airlines, after spending a few days in Naples and on the Amalfi Coast, continue with an easyJet flight to other leisure destinations in our network, from Sardinia to Greece.”
