A logical next step. Launched at high speed on the Paris-Lyon route in the winter of 2021, the Trenitalia completes its roll-out on France's busiest route for business travellers with a complete offering dedicated to businesses. Called Trenitalia Pro, this commercial offer includes low fares and, to top it all off, a secure portal that makes it easy to manage staff travel between France's two main business cities.
Accessible from the Trenitalia.com website, this Enterprise Space offers a host of functions, in addition to a large number of easy to join for companies of all sizes and in all sectors. From this portal, administrators can manage and purchase tickets for themselves and their company's employees, or delegate their powers to 'Super Users', who can modify or cancel booked trips. As for the 'Users' themselves, the business travellers who regularly travel between Paris and Lyon, once they have created their personal profile, they can book their tickets completely independently via the site or via the website. the app of Trenitalia.

For greater control, this control also extends to the definition and management of spending limits per User and Super User.
But Espace Entreprise has another key advantage in attracting companies: competitive prices. Since its beginnings in France, the Italian airline has relied on a single, clear pricing policy for the general public. The company is now applying this approach to business travel with its new corporate offer Serenità Pro. Among other benefits, reserved tickets can be exchanged indefinitely up to the train's departure time, without any fare adjustment. At the same time, the Serenità Pro fare guarantees a seat on the train until the last seat available. This gives you the flexibility to travel with peace of mind, without worrying about last-minute work commitments.
" Trenitalia intends to stand out for its excellent value for money, simple fares, punctuality and frequencies".explained Marco Caposciutti, Chairman of Trenitalia France, in a recent interview. interview with Voyages d'Affaires. This summer, to coincide with the Olympic Games, the Italian company will be switching to six daily frequencies between Lyon and Paris, compared with five at present. But this figure is likely to increase in the future, since when the Paris-Milan line reopens at the end of 2024, after being suspended due to a landslide in the Maurienne valley, Trenitalia will have nine trainsets in circulation, giving it an extra 80% of capacity.
Last but not least for business travellers: comfort offered by the 'red arrows', Trenitalia's famous Frecciarossa high-speed trains. While the more affordable Standard class offers an eco-leather seat with two armrests and an electric socket, the Business class features wide 69 cm seats that recline up to 109°. For a productive journey that includes a welcome snack served at the seat with savoury or sweet snacks and, Italy is the place to be for an illy espresso among other hot and cold drinks. These Standard and Business classes both have two different atmospheres: one, Silenzio, is calm and conducive to work, and the other, Allegro, is more relaxed, where colleagues travelling on the same train can continue their exchanges in a convivial atmosphere.
But Trenitalia also intends to appeal to business customers with another class, the Executive class, even more elegantwith a hushed ambience. For a comfortable trip for the entire management team, with only 10 armchairs, 74 cm wide, swivelling and spaced out. Another plus for this class: a meal served at the seat and snacks concocted by Michelin-starred chef Carlo Cracco. For productive journeys from start to finish, business travellers can also reserve a real meeting room in each train, the Sala MeetingThis room is equipped with power sockets and a 32-inch flat-screen TV, and can accommodate 2 to 5 people.
