After the summer chaos - due to the fires that affected the Catania and Palermo airports - and the attacks by the government and the Region of Sicily on the "expensive flights" that Ryanair & co. allegedly implemented during the summer; there are persistent rumors about a cut in frequencies that the Irish company and Wizz Air would be operating for winter 2024 at the very main Sicilian airports.
The Sicilian choice
In contrast to this, easyJet chose instead to boost connections over Sicily, announcing the start of operations on theComiso-Ragusa airport. Thus, the British low-cost airline has announced four new routes for next summer, two of which will be specifically dedicated to Sicily.
easyJet will connect its bases in Milan Malpensa and Naples with Comiso-Ragusa. The route from Milan will be inaugurated as early as next November 2023; while the connection from Naples will operate from next summer.
"The new route from Milan Malpensa to Comiso-Ragusa, the most recent Italian airport to join easyJet's network, will be operated throughout the year from from November 24, 2023, accompanying passengers arriving from Milan to discover the beauty of this area of Sicily and offering Sicilian passengers better connectivity with the North of the country," the carrier's press note says.
Initially there will be two weekly flights in the winter schedule, every Monday and Friday.
From Fiumicino to Scotland
Starting in March 2024, however, easyJet will connect Rome Fiumicino to the Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. These are the airline's two international innovations in Italy.
The route from Rome Fiumicino to Glasgow Will be operational with two weekly frequencies, every Thursday and Sunday, effective March 7, 2024. Also, as of March 10, Edinburgh will welcome travelers from Rome with two flights per week, the Friday and Sunday.
This new connection further expands the portfolio of Italian cities from which the Scottish capital can be reached by direct flight, which already includes Milan, Naples, Venice and Catania.
All of the British airline's new flights-both to Comiso and to Scotland from Rome-are already available for ticket purchase.
