New routes for the summer from Venice Airport
Long-haul and expanding intercontinental markets
Decisive for the performance of the quarter was the strengthening of intercontinental supply. Delta Air Lines has confirmed the winter extension of the direct Venice - New York (JFK) connection, while the Venice - Shanghai flight operated by China Eastern, active from September 2024, continues with excellent results, responding to stable demand even in the winter months.
Also important is the return of Qatar Airways' Venice - Doha flight, which completed its first post-pandemic winter season, expanding connectivity across the Gulf alongside Emirates' daily flight to Dubai.
EL AL, Israel's national airline, has also extended its direct connection to Tel Aviv in winter.
New for summer 2025: focus on North America
For the 2025 summer season, the Venetian port is preparing for further growth in traffic to North America, the main intercontinental market of reference. United Airlines has inaugurated a new daily direct flight between Venice and Washington D.C. from May 23, adding to the already active route to New York (Newark).
From 5 June it will be the turn of American Airlines, which will launch the first direct connection between Venice and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), the primary hub of the US carrier, offering over 230 destinations in continuation. This is complemented by the existing daily connection to Philadelphia.
In 2025, North America will be served from Venice with direct flights to eight destinations, thanks to the operation of five scheduled airlines, for a total expected to exceed 1.2 million passengers.
New routes also to Saudi Arabia and the Mediterranean
Looking to the East, the Saudia carrier will reactivate flights to Jeddah and Riyadh in the summer season. The flight to Jeddah will operate from June 13 to August 29 with two weekly frequencies, while the flight to Riyadh will fly three times a week from June 15 to September 7. Both routes will be operated with 110-seat A320 aircraft, configured for maximum comfort.
News also in the Mediterranean basin
From 30 May to 29 September 2025, Cyprus Airways connects Venice to Larnaca with two weekly flights (Monday and Friday), further enriching the airport's summer offer.
With a constantly expanding international network of destinations and growing results, Venice Airport confirms itself as one of the most dynamic Italian airports in the air transport sector, ready to welcome a summer season in the name of global connectivity.
