American Airlines’ transatlantic flights between Venice’s Marco Polo Airport and Chicago will resume.
Venice-Philadelphia flights to start in April
American Airlines has announced the resumption of its direct Venice-Chicago flight, which had been absent since 2019. Chicago serves as a hub for American Airlines, providing connections to more than 100 destinations across North America. Additionally, the airline will be advancing the start of its Venice-Philadelphia flight to April. Tickets for this route are already available for purchase.
A strong summer 2023 recovery
This double announcement follows a strong recovery in travel between Venice and North America during the earlier part of the year, surpassing the pre-Covid levels recorded in 2019. From January to July, the total number of passengers traveling between the United States, Canada, and Venice reached 555,000—an increase of 4% compared to the same period in 2019.
“We are continuing to explore new opportunities for direct flights”
“We are very satisfied with the great teamwork carried out with the North American airlines, which has led to the excellent results this season and thanks to which we are expanding the offer for 2024,” explains Camillo Bozzolo, aviation development director of the Save Group. “With the reactivation of flights to Chicago from next summer we are completing the reconstruction of the offer to North America, while continuing to explore new opportunities for direct flights in response to the strong potential expressed by this market segment.”
