EU To Approve Lufthansa Takeover Of ITA Airways

July 2, 2024 at 10:59 EDT By Spencer Howard

QuiFinanza[Translated by Google] "After long and complex negotiations lasting months, with numerous rounds of negotiations and heated discussions between the parties involved, it finally seems that an agreement has been reached for the commercial marriage between Ita Airways , the Italian national airline, and the German aeronautical giant Lufthansa."

Points Wire Note:

Expect Lufthansa to unwind ITA Airways' involvement with SkyTeam and move them to Star Alliance. That means the ability to book ITA with Air France-KLM Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club will end, but you'll gain the ability to book with programs such as Air Canada Aeroplan and avianca lifemiles.
