ITA Airways and Lufthansa Group are moving closer together for their customers. The respective route networks of ITA Airways and the other network airlines of the Lufthansa Group will be linked for the first time through mutual code sharing, making it possible to combine them seamlessly in a single booking. With today''s sales launch, over 100 new codeshare connections can be booked by both ITA Airways and the Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Air Dolomiti) for flight dates starting with the summer 2025 schedule.

By sharing or adding codeshare flight numbers to an existing flight, customers have a wider choice of flights and more flexibility. Despite traveling with different airlines, passengers will in future have just one ticket with the flight number of a single airline for transfer connections thanks to codeshares, and they will be able to check in their baggage conveniently to their final destination. Members of the Miles & More or Volare loyalty programs will also be able to collect and redeem miles or points on codeshare flights.

Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer, Lufthansa Group, said: “ITA Airways is now an integral part of the offering for our joint passengers. With just one booking, a customer of the Lufthansa Group can use ITA Airways'' synchronized connecting flights with its airline''s flight numbers. Codesharing will further improve and harmonize the travel experience of all passengers at the Lufthansa Group''s hubs. The integration of ITA Airways as part of the Lufthansa Group is progressing rapidly and now enables far- reaching advantages in the offering for our joint customers through code sharing. ”

With the start of the summer flight schedule on 30 March 2025, selected ITA Airways flights will also operate under a flight number of Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines or Brussels Airlines. These are both year-round, domestic Italian connecting flights from Rome-Fiumicino and international routes from Rome to Malta, Athens, Sofia and Tirana. ITA Airways destinations such as Alghero (Sardinia), Pantelleria (Sicily) and Reggio di Calabria can be booked by Lufthansa Group customers for the first time. In addition, the codes will also be added to ITA Airways flights between Italy and the other Lufthansa Group hubs.

For example, from the summer flight schedule, a Lufthansa customer can book a trip with Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Rome under flight number LH236 and then combine it with ITA Airways from Rome to Brindisi under flight number LH5078, thus obtaining an additional travel option to the Lufthansa Group''s existing flight connections to Brindisi.

Conversely, ITA Airways passengers will in future be able to plan their journey with connecting flights from other network airlines of Lufthansa Group. Initially, this new codeshare offer with ITA Airways will cover flight routes within Europe. Destinations in Northern, Central and Eastern Europe can be conveniently reached in future with an ITA ticket from Italy. Once the codeshare program is fully implemented, ITA Airways passengers will be able to choose from over 250 destinations offered by the Lufthansa Group.
