Neos has been operational on the new New York-Bari s since 4 June, with a target of 12,700 pax in the first year.
Neos’ 787-9 Dreamliner has 355 seats
A Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner configured with two classes of service (Premium and Economy) and a total of 355 seats will be used on the route, which will operate until 15 October with one frequency per week.
Four daily flights between New York and Italy
“The new direct flight from New York to Bari is a strategic connection that confirms the strong growth potential of the Apulian market,- says Carlo Stradiotti, managing director of the Alpitour group airline. -Our goal is to carry about 12,700 travellers in the first year of operation, helping to strengthen ties between Italy and the United States and promote the development of leisure and business flows between the two countries. After the success of last summer's flights between the United States and Sicily, this new route represents a further expansion of our international connections, serving another important region such as Puglia. Thanks to this flight, we will have a daily offer from New York to Italy with four frequencies from Milan, two from Palermo and now also one from Bari.”
“Puglia is an extraordinarily attractive destination”
"The flight to New York Vasile is the emblem of the extraordinary work that has allowed the Apulian airport network to become a reference in the Mediterranean basin,- said the president of Aeroporti di Puglia, Antonio Maria. -It is also the symbol of the passion with which the women and men of Aeroporti di Puglia operate, aware of how their commitment is fundamental to enable the growth, both economic and social, of our beloved Puglia. Thanks to this connection, our region is firmly projected onto a market with very high growth potential, boosting the ambitions of growth of incoming flows from an area that sees Puglia as an extraordinarily attractive destination for the beauty of its landscapes, the history of millenary civilisations and the excellence of its food and wine.”
Also nonstop Toronto-Malpensa flights
Neos is therefore expanding its network from and to North America where it has been present since 2021 on the New York-Milan Malpensa route, now served four times a week and, from April 2023, with a non-stop flight to Malpensa from Toronto. In addition, since last year the airline has introduced a direct high-performing New York-Palermo service with two weekly frequencies, operating from 6 June until October.
