ITA Airways to focus on Eastern Europe under Lufthansa ownership


Following the European Commission's approval of Lufthansa's acquisition of a 41% stake in ITA Airways, with an option of full ownership later, strategic plans have emerged to enhance the Italian carrier’s network, with a significant focus to be put on Eastern Europe. Markets in the former Yugoslavia, almost none of which are served by ITA, are expected to be included. Lufthansa aims to expand ITA Airways' network of Eastern European destinations in order to facilitate transfer traffic via Rome. This strategy is designed to primarily shuttle travellers from Eastern Europe to the United States, thereby expanding ITA’s market presence and improving connectivity within the Lufthansa Group's network. The Italian airline is set to join Star Alliance next year.

ITA Airways’ only destination in the former Yugoslavia is Split, which was served only in August this year for a total of just five flights. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, ITA’s predecessor, Alitalia, operated a year-round service from Rome to both Belgrade and Podgorica, as well as seasonal flights to Dubrovnik and Spit. In 2022, ITA announced launch plans for Belgrade, advertising the service on is website, but ultimately it didn’t follow through. Last year, the carrier applied for daily slots at Belgrade Airport from June, however, the flights also failed to materialise. Elsewhere, Alitalia maintained operations from Milan to Sarajevo, Zagreb and Skopje until 2007 and 2008, as well as between Rome and the Macedonian capital between 2014 and 2016. It had also announced its intention to launch operations from Fiumicino Airport to Zagreb, Sarajevo and Pristina, but these flights never came to fruition.

ITA has a wide-ranging mutual codeshare agreement with Air Serbia. Its future is likely to be challenged under Lufthansa’s control. The Serbian carrier maintains flights to eight destinations in Italy, with a ninth service, to Sardinia, set to be introduced next year. ITA also has a codeshare partnership with Croatia Airlines, which has been growing in recent years. Under Lufthansa’s plans for ITA and its expansion in Eastern Europe, subsidiary Air Dolomiti will also be employed to shuttle passengers through Italy onwards to far away markets. In 2021, Air Dolomiti expressed interest in opening a base in Ljubljana, however, it is alleged the plan did not get approval from the Slovenian government due to the amount of financial assistance requested by the regional carrier.

      ITA has not flown to Zagreb, nor did AlItalia for a long time when they were still around. I am amazed there's so little in terms of connections between Zagreb and Italy, considering the two countries are neighbours and there's massive commercial, cultural and economic links between the two countries. I find it odd that not a single flight by any of the Italian airlines to Zagreb, also odd considering quite a few Italians are now moving to Croatia for work and opportunities.

      Well, Italy is a large country and Rome is a massive market on its own. If they terminate their codeshare then they should consider boosting destinations where transfers used to go via Rome and ITA. These include Catania, Palermo, Bologna etc.

      In my opinion, and regardless of what ITA does, I think FCO has to be double daily so as to improve overall connectivity in BEG. You simply can't be competitive in such a market with less than double daily flights. Especially not when you have Lufthansa, Aegean, Turkish Airlines... breathing down your neck.

      If ITA opens BEG, JU increasing FCO to 2 daily wouldnt be a good choice.
      ITA will operate the route either with the small A221 or the more efficient/pax A320neo. Either way, JU's chances are slim with succeding with a double daily, even with the E195 on the route, and what will likely be a resurgent Wizz in 2025.
      The Jubilee in 2025 could temporarily help in boosting traffic, but from 2026. onwards someone will have to buckle.
      And with ITA finally being due to become profitable, with the incoming support of LH, and Wizz recently basing its 12th aircraft at FCO, that someone will unfortunately likely be JU, which will go back to 7-10pw

      The key markets for LO are first and foremost Polish regional airports, Baltics and Ukraine. Many ex-Yu routes like TIA and SJJ were started just to compensate for the loss of the Ukrainian market. So more competition in ex-Yu from LHG should not be such a big problem for LO. The LO's capacity on the ex-Yu market shows only very moderate growth with frequences basically stagnant, but a slightly bigger equipment resulting from gradual removal from the fleet of E75. With stagnant number of long-haul aircraft in LO bigger and bigger % of pax on long-haul flights are O&D, which is good financially for LO, but eases pressure on getting transfer pax. For this reason LO cancelled for example PRN, which basically saw only transfers without O&D.

    ITA closed its base at Malpensa and moved its foight to Linate, so unfortunatly we will not see flights from Milan to ex-yu. They use slot for more popular destination as Frnakfurt, London City etc.
    But hopefully they will start Rome BEG and other destination. They are not in crisis die that just this year they launched so many new destinations Bangkok, Tokyo, Dubai, plans for Muscat plus they have already good developed network for the US. And they plans are more than comfortable and they have nice service

      They're forced to give up the slots at Milan Linate actually, which Easy Jet just picked up. Same goes for Rome Fiumicino, Easy Jet got those slots too, despite not really wanting them.

      Minimal lost for them and for easyjet limited destination from Linate Germany, Belgium and one more. Because Lufthansa and AirDolomiti have strong presence at airports. But we can see idea behind Lufthansa to make a major hub in southern Europe due that they could not fight iberia, tap or ita and markets are huge. Especially for American tourists

      The loss from LIN slots will be minimal, since ITA has an excess anyway. A majority of its routes from LIN are lossmaking national routes that are maintained only to preserve slot rights.
      ITA estimates that the slots they will give to easyjet account for only around 1.5% of income at LIN

      Would be surprised if they cut more in future due to Milan distance from Fra and Muc. They will look to focus more on Rome for sure

    ITA will not only focus on North America, but also to South America and Africa. Which is interesting. Plus the layover in Fiumicino is great. The airport is very nice and well menaged.

    It's really interesting how the "experts" in the European Commission find all kinds of competitive issues when little peanuts like Adria or Croatia need a little state aid but there is no monopoly concern at all when the same company controls the biggest share of air market (and especially of the transfer market) in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy at the same time. Like, half of a time zone width sector smack across the middle of Europe. No monopoly concern at all

      When you realize that there no free market for everyone in Europe everything is clear. You need to be big investor for that.

    so they are indeed slowly, but surely walking toward a goal EU has set years ago - to have only 4 legacy carriers and 3-4 LLC. The rest will be peanuts
