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.

Delta is using a 216-seat Boeing 767-300 for this route. The airline offers various onboard experiences including lie-flat seats in Delta One cabins featuring premium bedding through an expanded partnership with Missoni. Passengers can enjoy chef-curated meals accompanied by Taittinger Champagne.

All passengers will have access to curated food options and over 1,000 hours of entertainment via Delta Studio. Free Wi-Fi powered by T-Mobile is available on transatlantic flights including this new route.

Customers flying in Delta One will also have access to the Delta One Lounge at JFK Airport. This lounge includes amenities such as a brasserie, signature bar, wellness area, and library lounge designed with Missoni elements.

This summer season sees Delta operating up to 110 weekly flights between Italy and the U.S., increasing their offerings by 15% compared to last year. With this addition of Catania flights, Delta strengthens its position in the Italian market.
