“An excellent response from the local market”
"The result of these first months confirms the excellent response from the local market and the validity of our strategy,- says Neos CEO, Carlo Stradiotti. -Bari is an important airport for us: we strongly believe in its potential and in the role it can play in connecting Southern Italy with international destinations, such as New York, Zanzibar, the Maldives, Kenya, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. This is why we have chosen to boost our presence, offering increasingly capillary and quality connections, both for leisure tourism and business flows.”
“The excellent collaboration between Neos and…travel agencies”
The renewal of the New York-Bari for 2026 joins the announced five direct Neos flights departing Bari to some of the most popular exotic long-haul destinations, including Mexico, the Maldives, Zanzibar, Kenya and the Dominican Republic. "The 10,000 passengers transported by Neos on the direct New York flights are an extraordinary result for our airport network,- says Antonio Maria Vasile, president of Aeroporti di Puglia. These flights not only consolidate the airport's role as an international hub but also testify to the excellent collaboration between Neos and the network of travel agencies. With them we intend strengthening a shared growth path towards innovation, service quality, and expansion.” On 1 May 2026 United Airlines will introduce four new weekly B767-300ER flights from New York Newark to Bari.
