ITA Airways participates in "FITUR 2025", the International Tourism Fair, takes place from January 22 to 26 at IFEMA Exhibition Center in Madrid. Now in its 45th edition, it is the premier annual event for tourism professionals, fostering business opportunities across both incoming and outgoing tourism.

Its stand (4C18) is located in Hall 4, in the area dedicated to Italy within the ENIT (Italian National Tourism Board) space. Here, the airline’s international and local sales teams welcome visitors and business partners, providing information about the Company’s news, brand and network to key players in the global tourism sector.

The carrier attends the event to illustrate its offering in terms of network, which operates 55 destinations in the current Winter season, including 15 intercontinental, 24 international and 16 domestic.

In the local market, it offers 42 weekly frequencies (84 flights) between Spain and Italy with non stop connections from Madrid (21 frequencies) and Barcelona (21 frequencies) to Rome-Fiumicino. Passengers can also enjoy convenient connections to the airline’s international and intercontinental destinations via Rome-Fiumicino, including routes to South America, such as São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, already in the network.

In the 2025 Summer season, ITA Airways enhances its network with seasonal flights from the Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Majorca, and Menorca) to Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Linate, alongside connections to Rhodes, Heraklion, Corfu, Lampedusa, Pantelleria, Zakynthos, and Kefalonia.

Among the airline’s newest additions is the direct flight to Tripoli, operational since January 12, complementing the routes launched in 2024 to Chicago and Toronto in North America; Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai in the Arabian Peninsula; Accra and Dakar in Sub-Saharan Africa; Bangkok in Thailand; and Malé, in the Maldives.

Destinations in the Far East are served with the A-330neo, while Middle Eastern routes are operated with the A-321neo. Both aircraft are new-generation models, configured in three service classes: Business, Premium Economy and Economy. Another highlight is the in-flight food offer. 

During the Winter season, long-haul business class passengers can enjoy a new menu crafted by Michelin-starred Chef Gian Piero Vivalda, offering a journey through traditional flavors that celebrate seasonality and Italian excellence.

Its fleet continues to grow, now featuring 99 Airbus aircraft, 64 of which are new-generation models, including 7 A-321neo, 19 A-320neo, 11 A-220/300, 10 A-220/100 and 11 A-330/900. 

Sustainability is a core focus for ITA Airways, with a target of operating 90% eco-friendly aircraft by the end of the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan. These advanced airplanes will consume 25% less fuel and emit less CO2, supporting the airline’s ambition to become the greenest carrier in Europe.
