“We are pleased to be able to expand the offer of Abruzzi Airport connections by adding Luxembourg. The summer season, which officially starts today, opens with good news that will offer many opportunities for growth in terms of incoming for our region, considering that in Luxembourg there is a large community of Abruzzi people who will be able to take advantage of returning to their places of origin. We aim even higher this year and this link will help us along this path. Luxair has chosen to focus on Abruzzi Airport due to its geographical strategic position and this can only produce positive implications for our entire territory", commented Vittorio Catone, Abruzzi airport Director.

“Today, Luxair is proud to officially launch its direct flights between Luxembourg and Pescara. We are delighted to add a 15th destination in Italy, thus even better serving the Italian community in Luxembourg, who is a cosmopolitan country with a large community from the Abruzzi region, where Pescara is situated.
