First direct flight between Naples and Chicago with American Airlines
Starting from May 2025 connection between Naples-Capodichino International Airport (NAP) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
American Airlines and GESAC have announced the launch of the first direct flight between Naples Capodichino International Airport (NAP) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), operating from May 2025.
During the summer 2025 season, American Airlines will offer up to two daily flights from Naples to the United States, increasing connectivity and providing more flexibility for travelers. The new Naples-Chicago connection was introduced following the success of the direct flight to Philadelphia, which was very popular with both Italian and American passengers last summer. Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD) is a strategic hub for American Airlines, allowing travelers to continue to more than 130 destinations with more than 400 daily flights covering the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.
Flights between Naples and Chicago will be operated with modern American Airlines Boeing 787-8 aircraft, which will provide passengers with a high-quality travel experience. Amenities include lie-flat seats in Flagship® Business Class, Premium Economy seats, innovative interiors, streaming TV, high-speed Wi-Fi and a wide selection of entertainment with over 1,500 film, TV, audio and lifestyle content.
"We are happy and proud that American Airlines has decided to further invest in Naples Airport, confirming the flight to Philadelphia and adding Chicago, one of the largest and most interesting metropolises in the United States and the fifth city in North America reachable by direct flight next summer. Naples has the potential to increase intercontinental traffic and have connections with the whole world, as demonstrated by the market that has responded very well to our commercial policies aimed at generating quality tourism, characterized by high-spending travelers with longer average stays and with an extraordinary economic and employment impact for our region" said Roberto Barbieri, CEO of GESAC.
