Air Canada to launch new Montreal-Naples route in May

Air Canada said that new direct services between Montreal, in Canada's Québec province, and Naples, southern Italy, will start on Saturday, May 17th, and run until Friday, October 17th, according to Italian media reports. Though the exact days haven't been released yet, the carrier said it will operate four weekly flights in each direction. Naples-bound services will depart Montreal at 7.15pm, arriving in Campania's capital at 9.30am local time the next day. Montreal-bound flights will leave Naples at 11.40am and arrive in Montreal at 2.50pm local time. All flights between Naples and Montreal will be operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliners offering three service classes: Economy, Premium Economy, and Air Canada Signature Class, which includes exclusive on-board services and additional amenities for passengers. Air Canada's sales and legal representative in Italy Stefano Casaregola said the new route will further solidify the carrier's leadership in linking the North American country with Italy. Air Canada, which already operates direct flights to Rome, Venice and Milan, 'is the airline that offers the highest number of non-stop flights between Italy and Canada,' allowing Canadian travellers to 'explore [Italy's] cultural, culinary, and historical heritage,' Casaregola said. Roberto Barbieri, the CEO of Gesac, which manages Naples' Capodichino airport, also expressed satisfaction over the new route, saying that it 'strengthens the historical ties and economic relations between the two countries' and opens a new gateway to Campania, which is 'one of the most sought-after destinations for Canadian tourists'. Transatlantic connections with Naples' Capodichino airport have grown exponentially in recent years. Following the success of a direct Philadelphia-Naples service last summer, American Airlines is set to offer daily direct flights from Chicago O'Hare to Naples from May 6th to October 24th. Delta Air Lines will also launch a new Atlanta-Naples route in May.
