ITA Airways will join Lufthansa Group's Miles & More loyalty programme on 1 April as the Italian airline continues its integration with the German airline company.
The development means that the loyalty programme will be available to all ITA passengers and they will gain access to Lufthansa's global partners.
The new collaboration between Miles & More and ITA Airways was described as “a major milestone” in the integration of ITA Airways into the Lufthansa Group, which acquired 41 per cent of ITA in January 2025.
Dieter Vranckx, chief commercial officer at Lufthansa Group, added: “ITA Airways has made the strategic decision to use Miles & More as a large and globally anchored loyalty programme and to offer its customers a worldwide route network for earning miles in the future.”
Registration for Miles & More will be available via the ITA website and its app from 1 April. Miles & More members can earn miles on all Lufthansa Group airlines, as well as Star Alliance members and other partner carriers.
Those with status in ITA's existing Volare loyalty scheme will be offered the option to switch to the Miles & More programme via a status match, according to Lufthansa.
ITA and Lufthansa Group began harmonising their loyalty benefits last year. The Italian airline’s content will also be made available through Lufthansa’s NDC platforms from early May.
