Ciao, Servus & Welcome to the family! ❤️🛫
Finally a “YES to ITA” from the EU: The Italian airline is set to become a fully owned subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, making ITA Airways the next network airline in the group. ✈ 🇮🇹 “Un grande Sí” - We are excited to announce that the EU-Commission has given its approval for Lufthansa Group to acquire 41 percent of the Italian flag-carrier ITA Airways (Italia Trasporto Aereo S.p.A.), after a long phase of investigating the impact on the competition in the aviation industry 🤝 . Lufthansa Group, the Italian Ministery of Finances (MEF) and ITA Airways expressed their enthusiasm about this decision in a press conference today, in Rome. Together we are now looking towards the closure of this acquisition in ITA Airways, as this step is of great meaning for all stakeholders. Lufthansa Group and ITA Airways are preparing a swift integration. Italy will be Lufthansa Group´s fifth home market and has large potential, being one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world and the economically third strongest country in Europe. ITA Airways´ main locations in Rome and Milan are going to contribute important connections to the Groups´route network.
