SkyTeam, the global airline alliance, has welcomed ITA Airways – Italy\u2019s new national carrier – into the alliance, replacing Alitalia. With ITA Airways on board, SkyTeam\u2019s 700 million customers will continue to enjoy seamless connections to key destinations across Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor more than 20 years, the Italian market has been a cornerstone of SkyTeam\u2019s European network and no other airline alliance connects Italy better to the world. We warmly welcome ITA Airways\u2019 decision to join our alliance and ensure continuity of service for the millions of customers who choose SkyTeam as their preferred alliance to Italy,\u201d said Walter Cho, SkyTeam Chairman. \u201cSkyTeam and our members look forward to working with ITA Airways to establish long-term partnership opportunities going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alfredo Altavilla, Executive Chairman of ITA Airways said: \u201cJoining SkyTeam is a natural step, enabling us to continue to deliver a global network and seamless experience that customers flying to and from Italy expect. We look forward to close cooperation with our SkyTeam partners to support the start-up of our company, the Italian flag carrier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alitalia ceased operations on 14 October and left the SkyTeam global airline alliance on the same date. SkyTeam has agreed with Alitalia Loyalty to continue the partnership that will enable the six million members of the MilleMiglia frequent flyer program to earn and redeem miles on selected SkyTeam members\u2019 flights, offering a wealth of opportunities and exclusive services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ITA Airways is also working closely with SkyTeam and its members to roll out SkyTeam-branded benefits that customers enjoy across the alliance, including priority airport services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
