A unique opportunity to travel between the United States and Southern Italy
“We are thrilled to inaugurate American Airlines’ first-ever connection between Southern Italy and the United States of America,” commented José Freig, vice president of International Operations at American Airlines.
“The introduction of the new nonstop flight between Naples and Philadelphia, American’s largest transatlantic hub on the East Coast, responds to the growing demand for connections between the United States and Southern Italy, and we are excited to offer our customers even more options for exploring the Italian coast and beyond.

“This is a prestigious and advantageous connection both in terms of incoming, with high-spending tourism arriving in our region, and for outgoing, because it brings Campania and Southern Italy closer to the rest of the world through the company's Philadelphia hub, from which it is possible to reach over 85 destinations not only in the United States, but also in Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico”.
