Coordination within the hubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the start of the summer flight programme on 30 March 2025, ITA Airways and Lufthansa Group passengers will be able to enjoy the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– ITA Airways to join the Lufthansa Group at Terminal 1 in Frankfurt and Terminal 2 in Munich<\/strong>. This move will considerably reduce passenger transfer times. At all the group's other hubs, as well as Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Linate, the airlines work in the same terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– From 30 March, ITA Airways passengers will be able to use the 130-odd lounges at the airport.<\/strong> of the Lufthansa Group<\/strong> and its partners. Conversely, passengers from Lufthansa and its subsidiaries will be able to use the ITA Airways lounges on the same date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– More than 100 routes to benefit from code-sharing<\/strong> with summer schedules. They will enable flights from different airlines in the group to be combined in a single booking. Once implemented, this code-sharing will enable ITA Airways passengers to more than 250 destinations<\/strong> of the Lufthansa group. The range of flights will also include ITA Airways domestic routes to Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria and Puglia<\/strong>. All code-share connections can be booked from 25 February through all sales channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Air links between hubs<\/strong> of the group<\/strong> - Frankfurt, Milan, Munich, Rome, Zurich, Vienna and Brussels - will be optimised. Spread out more evenly throughout the day, they will offer customers greater travel flexibility. Coordinated departure times will improve connections to long-haul destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
