EasyJet expects to be the first UK airline to launch flights to Salerno

The carrier on Thursday (29 February) confirmed it will launch flights to Salerno’s Amalfi Coast airport, a former military airport, in July when the airport opens to commercial services for the first time.

EasyJet will operate its new Gatwick-Salerno route twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays starting 13 July, with fares leading in from £27.99pp. The airline will also serve Salerno from Milan, Berlin, Basel and Geneva.

Its tour operator arm, easyJet holidays, is offering Amalfi coast packages on a £60pp deposit, inclusive of flights, accommodation, 23kg hold luggage and transfers.
