Icelandair and ITA Airways have announced a new codeshare agreement, allowing customers to travel seamlessly across both airlines' networks. This collaboration will enable passengers to book flights starting December 18, 2024, with travel commencing on January 20, 2025.

The initial phase of the agreement will connect Iceland with several Italian destinations via Rome, including Bologna, Florence, Venice, and Naples. Passengers will benefit from traveling on a single ticket and having their baggage checked through to their final destination.

Plans are in place to expand the partnership next year by adding more codeshare routes through mutual European gateways. Icelandair currently operates daily flights to Milan and Rome during the summer and has announced an increase in winter flights to Rome with four weekly services.
