easyJet revealed plans for a new service connecting Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Naples, beginning on August 3, 2026. The Italian route will run twice each week, departing on Mondays and Fridays.
Tickets for the new connection are on sale now through the airline's website and mobile application. The service opens up southern Italy to travellers across the Northwest, offering access to the historic city known for its authentic pizza and proximity to the ancient ruins of Pompeii.
The coastal destination is great for weekend breaks, with visitors able to experience Naples' culinary scene and cultural attractions.
To handle the increased demand, easyJet will station an extra aircraft at Liverpool next summer, bringing its local fleet to nine planes. The new Airbus A320neo will help the carrier maintain its position as Liverpool's biggest airline.
