Universal Air celebrates successful inaugural flight to Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport

Universal Air is announcing the successful launch of its bi-weekly flights between Malta and the newly opened Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport, which commenced on Thursday, 25 July 2024. Salerno joins Universal Air’s growing list of new routes, including popular Mediterranean destinations such as Ibiza, Palermo, Corfu, Nice, and Pécs.

Universal Air’s new route to the former military-only airport now open for commercial flights for the first time, is part of Universal Air’s extended summer schedule, aimed at connecting travellers with key Mediterranean destinations. With flights scheduled on Mondays and Thursdays, Universal Air ensures flexibility and convenience for both leisure and business travellers, with one-way fares starting at just €69.

As a gateway to the iconic area, Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport promises convenient access to the region’s popular coastal towns. With a rich history and vibrant culture of its own, it is the ideal destination for weekend getaways and family visits.

Universal Air’s CEO, Simon Cook, says: “We are thrilled to introduce our new route from Malta to Salerno, providing travellers with a seamless and affordable connection to one of Italy’s most picturesque destinations. There is more to Salerno than access to the Amalfi Coast, and we’re delighted to be one of the first airlines to offer direct access to this unique and relatively unexplored destination.”

“This route addition reflects our commitment to continuously expanding our route network to more vibrant and culturally rich destinations across the Mediterranean and North Africa.” 

Universal Air has a strong track record within aviation having provided charter and cargo services for many years from its base at Malta International Airport. Leveraging the island’s strategic position in the Mediterranean, Universal Air’s headquarters in Malta provides an excellent base for connecting with a range of destinations.
