Italy Reopens to Leisure Travelers On Delta's COVID-Tested Flights
Delta Air Lines’ COVID-tested flights between the U.S. and Italy will open to all customers effective May 16, following the Italian government lifting entry restrictions enabling American leisure travelers to visit the country for the first time in more than a year.
“Delta was the first U.S. airline to launch quarantine-free service to Italy, and our COVID-tested flights have proved a viable means to restart international travel safely,” said Alain Bellemare, Delta’s E.V.P and President – International. “It is encouraging that the Italian government has taken this step forward to reopen the country to leisure travelers from the U.S. on our dedicated protocol flights and further supporting economic recovery from the global pandemic.”
Customers currently have several choices of nonstop COVID-tested services to Italy, including:
Five-times-a-week between Atlanta and Rome, increasing to daily May 26
Daily service between New York-JFK and Milan
Three-times-a-week from JFK to Rome, increasing to daily July 1
