Delta Air Lines has launched a new daily nonstop service from New York's JFK Airport to Catania, Sicily, starting May 21, 2025. This marks Delta's first-ever flight from Sicily and establishes the only direct connection between Catania and the United States.
"Catania will be the fifth Italian city served by Delta from the U.S., along with Rome, Milan, Venice and Naples," said Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. "Sicily is a highly sought-after destination and many Italian Americans have strong bonds with this wonderful Italian region. We are convinced that our service will benefit the region's economy with regards to incoming tourism, as well as offering great connectivity to the U.S. for Sicilians."
The route provides travelers access to one of Italy's renowned destinations known for its history and culture. Notable nearby attractions include Taormina with its ancient Greek theatre, Siracusa’s historic center, and Noto’s baroque architecture.
