MONTREAL — Air Canada’s first-ever service to Naples, Italy is officially underway, with the inaugural flight from Montreal touching down in Naples this past weekend.

The airline’s newest international flight marks Air Canada’s fourth nonstop connection between Canada and Italy. It runs from Montreal to Naples four times per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from May 16 to Oct. 24. Returning flights operate on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from May 17 to Oct. 25. Flights are operated on Air Canada’s flagship aircraft, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, featuring Economy, Premium Economy and Air Canada Signature Class.

“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.

Air Canada has served the Italian market since 2005. This summer, the airline will offer up to 39 weekly flights and over 13,000 weekly seats from Canada into Naples, Rome, Milan and Venice.
