Ryanair to resume Italy flights on 1 July

Low-cost airline to offer daily flights to around a dozen Italian airports from July.

Ryanair is to resume daily flights to “key holiday airports” in Italy, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Portugal from 1 July, from destinations in Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and the UK.

The Irish carrier, Europe’s largest low-fare airline, announced the news on 26 May as Italy and several other European countries prepare to reopen to tourism in the post-lockdown phase of the covid-19 pandemic.

Ryanair will operate 40 per cent of its normal flight schedule in July, serving 90 per cent of its pre-coronavirus routes, the company announced Tuesday.

A quick check of the Ryanair website reveals that the airline’s Italian destinations available after 1 July include Bari, Bologna, Cagliari, Milan Bergamo, Milan Malpensa, Naples, Palermo, Pisa, Rome Ciampino, Venice Treviso and Verona.

The company has said that its flights will operate under the new EU health guidelines, which will oblige all Ryanair passengers and flight staff to wear face masks at all times in the airport terminals and on board the aircraft.
