British Airways has announced three new Italian routes for summer 2025, bolstering its extensive network of flights to the country.
They are typically coastal destinations with a slant towards high-grade tourist traffic.
Launching in May 2025, British Airways will introduce new flights to Rimini (RMI) on the Adriatic Coast from London Heathrow, and Salerno (QSR) on the Amalfi Coast from London Gatwick. A new service from London City to Olbia (OLB) in Sardinia will complement existing flights from Heathrow.
The new routes will bring the total number of Italian destinations served by the flag carrier to 19, more than any other European country on the airline’s network.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said: “Italy continues to prove hugely popular with our customers, which is why it’s our biggest European destination, and second globally behind the US.
“Last month, we saw a 10% increase in searches for summer flights to Italy compared to 2023, so we’re pleased to be offering an even bigger choice of destinations next year. Rimini, Salerno and Olbia are all coastal destinations, so we expect them to be particularly popular with our leisure customers seeking sun, sea, and of course Italy’s fantastic food.”
