The new bilateral codeshare agreement between ITA Airways and Volotea sees the two airlines further expanding travel opportunities.
Volotea's Rome Fiumicino hub
Offering passengers a comprehensive combined network featuring up to 104 available routes, the agreement centres on Volotea’s existing network to Rome Fiumicino and ITA Airways’ network at the Rome hub, enabling more efficient connections between numerous European destinations and significantly expanding connection options. Once the technical implementation is complete it will enable increased connectivity via Rome Fiumicino to Italian and European destinations within the ITA Airways network including Milan Linate, Catania, Palermo, Brindisi, Trieste, Genoa, Reggio Calabria, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Zurich, Tirana and Amsterdam, whilst also offering new routes via the Madrid and Barcelona hubs to destinations such as Murcia, Asturias and Vitoria, operated by Volotea.
Enabling ITA Airways to expand its destinations
At the same time, the agreement strengthens Volotea’s commercial visibility in new European markets and enables ITA Airways to expand its offering by including destinations served by the low-cost carrier’s network. These include cities such as Asturias, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Lourdes/Tarbes, Nantes and Strasbourg, with further connection opportunities thanks to links via Spain.
"Comfort, accessibility and quality of service at the forefront"
“Building on the path set out by the interline agreement signed last year, followed by the joint bid submitted for the territorial continuity tender in Sardinia, this partnership is the natural evolution of a process that allows us to offer our passengers an even greater number of destinations and travel combinations, whilst keeping comfort, accessibility and quality of service at the forefront, ” ” said Carlos Muñoz, founder and CEO of Volotea.
Improving connectivity to and from Rome
“With the codeshare agreement with Volotea, a highly reliable partner, we are further expanding travel opportunities for our customers,- added Joerg Eberhart, CEO and General Manager ITA Airways, -improving connectivity to and from Rome Fiumicino and making it easier to reach numerous destinations in Italy and Europe with a single ticket.”
