The Lufthansa Group is taking another important step toward the rapid integration of ITA Airways: Customers will be able to combine flights from Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines with long-haul flights from ITA Airways in a single booking.
Corresponding codeshare offers will be available for flights from July 1, 2025. For example, it will then be possible to travel with Lufthansa from Frankfurt and Munich via Rome with ITA Airways to Bangkok, Jeddah, Riyadh, and additionally with Brussels Airlines from Brussels to Cairo. With Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines from Vienna, codeshare flights via Rome to Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo can be booked. This will offer customers significantly better connections, and their baggage will be transported directly to their final destination. Further codeshare flights to Africa and Asia will follow in the coming weeks.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer, Lufthansa Group:
"We are delighted to reach the next milestone in the integration of ITA Airways into the Lufthansa Group. By expanding our codeshare flights – now also for long-haul connections – we are offering our airlines' guests a seamless and consistent travel experience more than ever before. They benefit from an expanded and perfectly coordinated route network across all our airlines and hubs – and only need one booking and one check-in. In addition, customers can earn and redeem miles and points in their respective frequent flyer programs as usual. This makes traveling even easier, more comfortable, and more attractive for our customers."
Since March, guests of ITA Airways and the other Lufthansa Group network airlines have been able to book more than 100 new codeshare flights for selected domestic Italian and European flights. Codesharing gives customers a wider choice of flights and greater flexibility. Despite flying with different airlines, passengers only need one ticket with flight numbers from one airline and can conveniently check their baggage through to their final destination. Members of the Miles & More or Volare loyalty programs can also earn and redeem miles and points on codeshare flights. Once this codeshare program has been fully implemented, ITA Airways passengers will have a choice of over 250 Lufthansa Group codeshare destinations in the future.
