Launched in early March, ITA Airways 2022 summer season includes 63 new destinations, of which 22 are domestic, 34 are international and 7 are intercontinental. Thanks to code share agreements with the major international carriers, ITA Airways is continuing to grow its network via partnerships with other global carriers – giving a privileged access route to the markets of greatest interest for the Company, firstly and foremostly in Europe and America, but also in Africa and Saudi Arabia.

Codeshare agreements enable ITA Airways to reach the entire domestic network of other international carriers with direct flights from Rome (Fiumicino) and Milan (Linate) to their hubs. In all, 24 codeshare agreements have been signed so far, for a total of over 300 destinations served on which ITA Airways is using its own codes. All ITA Airways new flights can be purchased on the ita-airways.com website, from the ITA Airways Call Center, or from travel agencies and airport ticket offices.

The Airbus A350 that operated the inaugural flight is the one dedicated to Roberto Baggio. The "Ballon d'Or" attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday at Rome Fiumicino at 8:00 p.m. greeting several guests including press representatives and passengers. During the ceremony, the strong link between the Azzurro spirit and ITA Airways was further enhanced following naming of the Company’s new Airbus A319, A320, A330 and A350 after the Italian sports champions.

"I am proud of this opportunity that ITA Airways has offered to me. When I was told, I was amazed: I never thought that I would have a plane with my name on it! The element that I particularly care about and that binds me to ITA Airways is the focus on young people. We are working together on a "youth project" that will allow young talents to fly to higher destinations thanks to a dedicated call with the Gilardi Foundation on Italy-Argentina projects." said Roberto Baggio.
