ITA Airways Launches New Flight From Rome Fiumicino to London City Airport

The airline already operates flights to the British airport from Milan Linate Airport (LIN).

The profit came as the largest airlines in Italy, including Wizz Air and easyJet, began cutting domestic capacity in 2023.

50% of ITA’s long-haul network poses an issue for the European Commission in light of Lufthansa’s acquisition.

The EC expressed concerns about short-haul and long-haul competition from/to Italy, as well as ITA Airways’ dominance at Milan Linate Airport (LIN).

Passengers as young as two can now collect points on Skyteam flights and with partners of the Volare program.

The airline has witnessed impressive load factors on this route.

The new agreement includes reciprocal earnings in both frequent flyer programs.

The new partnership opened up codeshare flights to Italian destinations, including Florence, Genoa, Palermo, and Trieste.

In a statement to Simple Flying, Lufthansa says it is nevertheless confident that “the Merger Application will be approved”.

The airline has finalized a deal to buy an Airbus A330neo aircraft.
