New Italian flag carrier ITA Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with airBaltic.
The deal is the latest development from ITA Airways, which was launched in October 2021 when former carrier Alitalia ceased operations after 75 years due to financial problems.
ITA Airways passengers can now purchase tickets on airBaltic’s services to Riga from Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa.
Meanwhile, airBaltic will also place its code on ITA’s flights from 10 Italian cities during the current winter season: Brindisi, Bari, Catania, Genoa, Palermo, Reggio Calabria, Lamezia Terme, Turin, Trieste and Venice.
The codeshare will then be extended to Bologna, Florence, Naples and Verona for the summer 2022 schedule.
Martin Gauss, CEO of airBaltic, said: “We are pleased to add ITA Airways as another partner to our existing network of codeshare airlines.
“Our strong network of partners enables us to further improve the connectivity of Baltic states. The new partnership provides convenient connections to existing destinations in Italy.”
