Ita Airways is revving up its engines on the new route from Rome Fiumicino to Rio de Janeiro, with the official opening of ticket sales.
A growing intercontinental network
The Brazilian metropolis expands the airline's long-haul network, which already includes New York - operated from both Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa - Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, New Delhi and Malè, as well as Washington and San Francisco, which will take off during the summer of 2023.
Rome-Rio flights with Airbus A330s
An Airbus A330 will operate on the new route from next 29 October with daily flights departing from Rome airport at 21:50 and arriving in Rio de Janeiro at 6:05, local time. The Rio de Janeiro flights will depart from 30 October 2023 at 15:45, landing at Fiumicino at 6:45, local time. ITS thus consolidates its presence in South America, where it already operates to Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo: the Latin American market together with that of the United States representing a focal point for both business and cargo traffic with Italy.
“We already added Washington and San Francisco”
"The opening of Rio de Janeiro route is part of the development and growth strategy of our airline on intercontinental routes - said Emiliana Limosani, CCO ITA Airways and CEO of Volare. – In line with this expansion this year we already added to our United States services with new direct flights from Rome Fiumicino to Washington, operating from June, and to San Francisco, operating from July and now on sale on our website, at the call centre and in airport ticket offices and travel agencies”.
