Turkish Airlines, the airline that travels to most countries worldwide, and ITA Airways, the national flag carrier of Italy, jointly announce the start of a codeshare cooperation that will go into effect in July 2023. Customers of both airlines flying between Italy and Turkey will have more flight options thanks to the inked agreement between the two flag carriers.
Through this codeshare agreement, Turkish Airlines will place its marketing flight numbers on ITA Airways’ flights from Rome to Istanbul, and ITA Airways will place its marketing flight numbers on Turkish Airlines’ flights from Rome to 9 Italian destinations, including Brindisi, Bari, Catania, Florence, Genoa, Palermo, Lamezia Terme, Turin, and Trieste.
Through the seamless connectivity of a single ticket and the check-in of passengers and luggage at their destination, this cooperation will provide consumers of both airlines improved services.
Istanbul and Rome have always been excellent cities for attracting and connecting people, according to Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi. I am convinced that this code-sharing arrangement between Turkish Airlines and ITA Airways will expand the current network with new locations and promote collaboration and travel between two highly prospective nations. Additionally, this alliance will do wonders for the tourism industry, Turkish Airlines’ market reach, and customer benefits.
According to Fabio Lazzerini, CEO and General Manager of ITA Airways, “With the codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines, ITA Airways’ commercial strategy of growth makes a step forward, along with the existing partnerships with the world’s leading carriers. This partnership opens up a preferred access route to Istanbul, one of the most fascinating and historically rich cities in the world, for all ITA Airways passengers. The 32nd codeshare owned by the Company is represented by this agreement, a great accomplishment in less than two years.
Through the airlines’ sales channels and websites at ita-airways.com and turkishairlines.com, customers can purchase the new codeshare flights.
