ITA Airways has terminated its membership in the SkyTeam Alliance, which will see the Italian airline exit the group by 30 April 2025. The decision follows ITA Airways’ final approval by regulators to join the Lufthansa Group, announced last month.

Italian airline ITA Airways is a new member of the Lufthansa Group after the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and Europe’s leading aviation group jointly completed the transaction.

Emirates and ITA Airways have today inked an MoU for the expansion of their existing interline into a full codeshare partnership. Once activated, the codeshare will boost travel options and connection choices for customers travelling between Dubai, Italy and beyond.

The SkyTeam global airline alliance has a new Italian carrier, Italia Trasporto Aereo S.p.A, trading as ITA Airways, following the recent demise of Alitalia.
