Air Italy will also provide service to the Costa Smeralda (from 11 June) and the French Riviera (starting 26 July) with flights to Olbia and Nice offered at competitive prices several times a week which will be doubled during the summer season.

Air Italy currently provides service from Naples to Verona three times a week and to Catania and Turin two times a week.

Air Italy continues to focus great attention on the cost/quality ratio; a policy which has resulted to high levels of customer satisfaction. The company has also maintained high on-time performance levels: the average for the last 12 months was 94% with monthly peaks of 98%.

In launching the new flights, Air Italy has made 60,000 round trip tickets available at € 49 O/W all included.

“Naples represents a fundamental junction in air traffic. Air Italy is determined to cover the lack of service on certain important routes. Our objective is to become the leading airline at Capodichino” declared Giuseppe Gentile, President and CEO of Air Italy.

“Air Italy has continued to invest in our airport and has significantly increased the offer of flights from Naples. With the new service to Bergamo, Palermo and Nice in addition to the existing flights to Verona, Turin and Catania, Air Italy has notably augmented its network of domestic flights, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by our passengers,” stated Marco Consalvo, General Manager of Gesac S.p.A., Naples airport management company.
