MONTRÉAL, May 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada's newest international flight from Montréal touched down this morning in Naples, Italy, the gateway to the Amalfi coast. This flight marks the first Air Canada service to Naples and is the airline's fourth non-stop connection between Canada and Italy.
"We are thrilled to inaugurate new, non-stop service between Canada and Naples, a scenic new destination in Air Canada's global network and our fourth in the Italian market. With the beauty of the Amalfi Coast or the ruins of Pompeii not far away, this new service from our growing Transatlantic hub in Montréal will make it even easier for our customers to explore all that Naples and Southern Italy has to offer. This new route not only unites two great cities, but also further connects two great countries," said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer and President, Cargo. "Having served the Italian market since 2005, Air Canada remains steadfast in our commitment to fostering tourism and connecting families and businesses across Canada and Italy. This summer, we are proud to offer even more options for our customers, with up to 39 weekly flights and over 13,000 weekly seats from Canada into Naples, Rome, Milan and Venice," Mr. Galardo concluded. "I am delighted to celebrate the launch of this new direct flight between Montréal and Naples — two vibrant and historic cities. This connection is more than a flight route between two destinations, it represents a gateway to deepen an already strong partnership between Canada and Italy including to further reinforce our collaborations in business, innovation, education, culture, and much more. I look forward to seeing how this bridge across the Atlantic will spark ideas, strengthen communities, and bring our peoples even closer together," said Elissa Golberg, Canadian Ambassador to Italy. "Air Canada's new route will further increase the already impressive number of Canadians choosing to visit Italy, providing a valuable boost to our tourism sector. It is also a timely and welcome initiative, as Naples is set to host the prestigious America's Cup sailing competition in 2027. I am confident that this exceptional event will attract many Canadian visitors, who will take full advantage of the new Air Canada connection," said H.E. Alessandro Cattaneo, Italian Ambassador to Canada. Schedule
