Salerno will become the 32nd Italian airport in the increasingly extensive Ryanair network, which continues to invest, guarantee connectivity and jobs more than any other airline in Italy. Ryanair’s 3 new routes will offer direct connections from Salerno to London Stansted, Milan Bergamo and Turin this summer, stimulating inbound tourism and business opportunities, as well as providing greater connectivity to citizens and visitors to Campania with the lowest fares in Europe.

Ryanair’s new flight to Salerno will include:

3 new routes – London Stansted, Milan Bergamo and Turin
16 weekly flights to/from Salerno

«As the number 1 airline in Europe and Italy, Ryanair is delighted to announce that we are bringing Europe’s lowest fares to Salerno with the launch of over 16 weekly flights on 3 new popular routes such as London Stansted, Milan Bergamo and Turin from August 2024. Ryanair’s new routes to/from Salerno will lead to a significant growth of traffic and tourism, increasing the options for citizens of Campania to travel for work, medical appointments or to visit friends and family. We worked closely with the management of GESAC to bring Ryanair’s low fares and greater connectivity to Salerno. To confirm our commitment to Salerno and the entire Campania region, we are pleased to confirm that the two national routes – Milan Bergamo and Turin – will continue into the 2024/25 winter season, offering more year-round connectivity, tourism and jobs for Salerno and the entire Campania region. This incredible growth in Salerno is in stark contrast to the situation in Naples, where we have been forced to reduce connectivity due to the unjustifiable 30% increase in the municipal surcharge/tourism tax. We ask Mayor Manfredi again to urgently abolish this unjustifiable increase, as was done in Venice, to preserve connectivity, tourism and jobs in view of the winter season.

Ryanair also invites the Italian Government and other Municipalities to follow the example of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and completely abolish the municipal surcharge/tourism tax at all Italian airports, allowing Ryanair and other airlines to further increase traffic, tourism and employment for Italy. If the Italian Government abolishes the regressive additional municipal/tourism tax, Ryanair will respond with a $4 billion investment in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, an additional 20 million passengers per year, over 250 new routes and 1,500 new seats Work. To celebrate Ryanair’s arrival in Salerno, Ryanair has launched a 3 day promotion on its 3 new routes with fares starting from €24.99 on sale only on ryanair.com» we read in a press release.

Roberto BarbieriCEO of GESAC, declared:

«The popularity and appreciation of the Irish airline, both in Italy and abroad, represent a significant added value to increase traffic volumes in Salerno and support the development of tourism and the local economy. Thanks to Ryanair, the Salerno-Costa d’Amalfi airport consolidates its flight offer both on the national segment, with Bergamo and Turin all year round, and on the international segment, with the strengthening of connections with London. This partnership is the result of intense team work aimed at satisfying the mobility needs of citizens and the many tourists who wish to visit our region which can finally count on a second airport, with a stable flight offer and destined to grow . After the extension of the runway, which allowed GESAC to close agreements with the three main low cost airlines on the national market, the work continues with the second phase of the Development Plan which envisages, among other investments, the further extension of the runway up to 2,200 meters and the construction, in 2026, of the new Passenger Terminal, of approximately 16 thousand square meters, which will reflect the highest environmental standards
