Lufthansa has announced a new partnership with ITA Airways, which will enable mutual loyalty benefits and expanded travel access. The announcement was made on the social media platform X on February 3.

According to Lufthansa's official website, the agreement between Lufthansa Group airlines and ITA Airways will cover over 100 European routes starting from March 30, 2025. This collaboration aims to provide passengers with a broader range of flight options and increased flexibility. The partnership is part of Lufthansa's strategy to enhance connectivity within Europe.

As reported by Reuters, Lufthansa has acquired a 41% stake in ITA Airways for 325 million euros, aiming to strengthen its presence in the southern European market. Lufthansa's CEO, Carsten Spohr, indicated that the company plans to purchase additional shares in ITA in 2025, though not intending to raise its stake to 90% within the year. This investment is expected to contribute positively to Lufthansa's earnings starting in 2025.

The terminal changes are part of broader efforts to optimize airport operations and enhance passenger convenience.
