Delta is offering COVID-tested flights between the U.S. and Italy through 30 June 2021.

With the latest travel requirements in mind, this program allows business travellers who have tested negative for coronavirus in the USA and on arrival in Italy to enter Italy without quarantining.

Delta’s COVID-tested flights are operated between Atlanta and New York-JFK and Rome-Fiumicino airports, and between New York-JFK and Milan Malpensa Airport.

Our trusted partner, Alitalia, also offers COVID-tested flights between New York-JFK and Rome-Fiumicino International Airport.

To fly on Delta’s COVID-tested flights, customers will have to provide a negative Covid-19 test and need to comply with the following requirements:
