Ryanair to begin operations from Salerno-Amalfi Coast Airport

Ryanair will begin operations at Salerno-Amalfi Coast Airport from August 2024, offering 16 weekly flights on 3 new routes. Salerno will become the 32nd Italian airport in the Ryanair network. Ryanair's three new routes will offer direct connections from Salerno to London Stansted, Milan Bergamo and Turin this summer. Ryanair's chief commercial officer, Jason McGuinness said: ""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”. Roberto Barbieri, CEO of GESAC, stated that the partnership was the result of ""intense team work"" aimed at developing a second airport in the region. He added: “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.”
