From next summer, travellers will have a new gateway to the stunning Amalfi Coast. Manchester Airport is set to connect with Italy’s Amalfi Coast (Salerno) Airport.
This new route, launching in May 2025, promises to enhance the travel options for holidaymakers, introducing them to one of Italy’s most scenic regions.
New Gateway to the Amalfi Coast
A new route from Manchester Airport to the Amalfi Coast (Salerno) Airport is set to commence in May 2025. This development marks the ninth Italian gateway from Manchester Airport offered by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, both of which are set to provide flights and holiday packages to this picturesque region.
With the reopening of Amalfi Coast (Salerno) Airport to commercial flights, the companies will now operate to nine Italian airports from Manchester across all seasons, eight of which are available in Summer 2025.
Flight Schedule and Offerings
Weekly services to the Amalfi Coast from Manchester Airport will run every Monday, starting from May 26 until September 29, 2025. This offers travellers ample opportunity to explore the breathtaking coastline during the peak summer months.
Holiday packages will include a range of accommodations across the Amalfi Coast, and introduce Salerno, a new resort for Jet2holidays, providing visitors with varied options to suit their preferences.

The Amalfi Coast, located on Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, is renowned for its striking scenery and glamorous coastline.
With its 50-kilometre stretch carved out of cliffs, the Amalfi Coast features 500-foot vertical drops that offer breathtaking views.
Boasting UNESCO World Heritage status, the region is famed for its combination of Neapolitan Riviera scenery and beautiful beaches.
