The president of AdP, Antonio Maria Vasile: “an additional piece that consolidates Salento Airport”

News for Summer 2026. From 24 April to 6 October next year, from Brindisi it will be possible to fly to Amsterdam with Tui Netherlands, the Dutch airline of the Tui group, one of the world’s largest tour operators, which has decided to double its investment in Brindisi and in Salento, after the air links to Belgium operated by Tui FlyBelgium. The flight in the initial phase will operate twice weekly (Friday and Tuesday), then progressively from 30 May increase to three weekly frequencies, and from 24 July rise to as many as four weekly frequencies.

“The launch of the new Brindisi–Amsterdam connection –declared the president of Aeroporti di Puglia (AdP), Antonio Maria Vasile– represents a further step in the growth and consolidation of the Salento airport. It is a route of great strategic value that strengthens the airport’s positioning and opens new opportunities both for incoming and for outgoing tourism. We note that in the first eight months of 2025 the Dutch incoming market ranked seventh in terms of presences in Puglia with 281,643 compared with 243,971 in the previous year. This increase bears witness to the growing interest of Dutch visitors in our region and suggests that the new route may meet with immediate success, which I am pleased to share with the management of Aeroporti di Puglia and with the Tui group, which chose to invest in this destination, proving to be a reliable and forward-looking partner. Thanks to the joint work and shared vision, today we can announce a connection that will help make Puglia even more accessible, attractive and connected to the heart of Europe".
