easyJet has partnered with Neos, part of the Alpitour Group, to enhance connectivity from Italy to New York and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic via Milan Malpensa. From June 16, 2022, easyJet will provide connecting flights from Catania, Palermo and Naples.
On Wednesday (May 11, 2022), easyJet announced a new partnership with Neos, part of the Alpitour Group, to offer enhanced connectivity from Southern Italy to New York and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic via Milan Malpensa. From June 16, 2022, easyJet will offer connecting flights for Neos’ passengers from Catania, Naples and Palermo traveling to New York and Santo Domingo with an interim stop at Milan Malpensa, easyJet’s main hub in continental Europe. The new partnership will allow Alpitour Group, the leading tour operator in Italy, to expand their product offering in Southern Italy, by enabling the distribution of easyJet and Neos connecting flights by Alpitour agencies. This will build on the current distribution collaboration on the Worldwide by easyJet platform.
In Wednesday’s announcement, easyJet Italy’s Country Manager, Lorenzo Lagorio, said,
“We are excited to launch this partnership with Neos, which allows us to broaden the range of connections from Italy to an increasing number of destinations around the world. At a time of strong recovery for tourism, easyJet is committed to making the travel experience for its Italian customers easier, even when travelling to faraway destinations, while also encouraging tourists from other continents to visit the wonders of our country. The Neos-easyJet partnership is a step in this direction, transforming and improving the concept of travel thanks to two of the most popular brands for those flying to and from Italy.”
Also commenting on the new partnership, Neos’ Commercial Director, Aldo Sarnataro, said,
“The partnership with easyJet started with Worldwide over the past few years, enables us to introduce a new element to our business, further expanding connections to and from Milan Malpensa and allowing us to offer a wider and more flexible long-haul service for incoming leisure tourism. Neos has been working for some time on enriching its network of destinations and collaborating with other leading companies in the industry to offer its customers a wide selection of destinations that can be reached with the latest generation of aircrafts.”
