Catch one of Albastar’s charter flights to experience religious tourism at its best!

330 million people on more than one million trips to the Holy Land and San Giovanni Rotondo: these are the numbers of a constantly growing business, that of religious tourism.

Data aside, in this sector, we are a reference company for associations, tour operators and logically for all passengers who wish to live an intense spiritual experience, visiting pilgrimage destinations.

If you require special assistance on our aircraft, you will be welcomed by helpful and attentive staff, trained at hospitals specialised in the care and management of people with reduced mobility. We are also able board people who need to be transported on a stretcher.

And in any event, whoever you are and whatever the reasons for your trip, you will find that Albastar has one of the most flexible and completely customisable flight plans.

Our fleet has grown over the years and currently consists of six aircraft. Furthermore, this year we also obtained IOSA certification: what does this mean for our passengers? It means we strive to constantly improve in order to ensure increasingly high and efficient safety standards and procedures.

In addition, the number of connections departing from the airports Rome Fiumicino, Milan Bergamo, Verona and Milan Malpensa rises during the summer when demand increases.

As you certainly know, as far as religious tourism is concerned, one of the most popular destinations in the world is without a doubt Lourdes.

We connect several European cities with charter flights to the French city working in collaboration with the major tour operators that organise pilgrimages.

Our direct flights depart from:

• Rome Fiumicino, between May and October, on Mondays and Thursdays
• Milan Bergamo, from April to May and from September to October, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

All Albastar flights to Lourdes land at the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées airport, which is equipped to assist disabled people.

You may not know that on 29 August we received an extremely important assignment: the relics of Saint Bernadette Soubirous returned to France on a flight from MALPENSA after being in Italy for four months to mark 140 years since her death. But this is a story that we will perhaps tell you another time.
