Ita Airways new Airbus A320neo
“By 2026 some 80% of the fleet will be next-generation”
“This Airbus A320neo is the first aircraft that is exactly as we designed it, with our own seats and carpeting and the lights designed as we wanted them,” said CEO Lazzarini. “Now all our new aircraft, both short-haul and long-haul, will have this configuration. Next-generation aircraft are very important for the company's accounts, as they have a fuel consumption of around 25-28% less than traditional aircraft. By 2026 some 80% of the fleet will have them, and already this year, with the arrival of 33 new planes, 55% of the fleet will already be next-generation.”
ITA’s new Hangar Lounge is in Fiumicino’s Terminal 1

Located after the security gates in Terminal 1, the Hangar Lounge is open from 06:00 to 23:00 daily.
