No two without three: Neos opens direct Bari/New York flight: tickets soon on sale

Starting as of June 3, 2025, Neos will enrich its offer of international flights with a new route connecting Bari-Palese "Karol Wojtyla" airport to New York JFK. A further growth opportunity for the airline part of Alpitour World, which with the new route diversifies and further increases its scheduled business.

Bari/New York direct flight, details

The flight will be active until October 15, 2025 and will operate Once a week with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner configured with two classes of service (Premium and Economy) and equipped with a total of 355 seats. The aircraft will depart from New York every Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. (local time) and will land in Bari on Wednesday at 8:00 a.m., from where it will depart the same day at 11:30 a.m., arriving in New York at 1:50 p.m..

With this new connection, Neos expands its network to North America, where it has already been present since 2021 with Three weekly frequencies on the Milan Malpensa-New York route. and, from April 2023, with a non-stop flight from Malpensa to Toronto. In addition, from June to October 2024, the company introduced the direct Palermo-New York with two weekly frequencies, which has already been reconfirmed for the new year and has performed very well.

"We strongly believe in the potential of the Apulian market, which in recent years has carved out a leading role for itself in the national airport scene. The number of passengers at Apulian airports is growing steadily, and our goal is to carry about 12,700 travelers in the first year of operation"-says Charles Stradiotti, Neos CEO -. "After the connection that linked Sicily with the United States, we further expand our connections with New York, serving another important Italian region. Thanks to this new flight, we will have a daily offer from New York to Italy with four frequencies from Milan, two from Palermo and one from Bari, helping to significantly develop leisure and business flows between the two countries."

How to fly on Neos' 787

The Italian company, which has 6 Dreamliners in its fleet, offers its passengers. A 28-seat Premium Economy cabin with rows 2-3-2 and a 327- or 331-seat Economy cabin in rows 3-3-3.

All seats are equipped with IFE, and there is also wi-fi on board, which is also offered free of charge in exchange for a tiny bit of advertising.

Tickets not yet on sale

As always, price will be a major discriminator for the success of the route, but offering a nonstop flight from Bari to New York will surely intercept many passengers who don't want to have the stress of a layover flight.

In conclusion

Very interesting this growth of Neos, too bad it does not have a loyalty program, which limits its appeal to frequent flyers, but maybe 2025 will give us that surprise as well.
