ITA Airways, as of April 1, 2026, will join Miles & More, the loyalty programme of the Lufthansa Group, as fully integrated partner, with a progressive integration of the user experience that will be consolidated throughout the month of April.
With over 39 million members worldwide, Miles & More is one of Europe’s largest and most successful loyalty programmes, offering customers a wide range of benefits and exclusive privileges, comprising 170 international partnerships, including 35 airline partners and 135 non-air partners.
Through this integration, ITA Airways passengers will enjoy:
• Global reach and recognition: Access to one of the most established loyalty networks in Europe.
• Consistency for travellers: A unified experience across Lufthansa Group airlines.
This strategic decision represents a key milestone in ITA Airways’ integration into the Lufthansa Group ecosystem, reinforcing the Italian airline’s commitment to delivering a seamless travel experience and enhanced value to its customers.
“Joining Miles & More as fully integrated partner represents a major achievement in our integration with the Lufthansa Group – said Joerg Eberhart, CEO and General Manager of ITA Airways – Our customers will benefit from one of Europe’s most comprehensive and rewarding programmes, ensuring greater flexibility and value for their travels. This is a clear example of how synergies within the Lufthansa Group translate into tangible advantages for passengers”.
Sandro Pappalardo, Chairman of ITA Airways said, “The Board of Directors has made an important decision for the company’s development path. I would like to thank all the directors for their contribution and the sense of responsibility shown during the discussions that led to this resolution, adopted in the interest and for the benefit of ITA Airways. We will continue our joint work with our shareholders, in a spirit of full cooperation, to further strengthen the company’s future and the value it represents for the country.”
This announcement follows the first step taken in February 2025, when ITA Airways announced commercial synergies with Lufthansa Group. Today’s milestone consolidates that partnership, creating a unified loyalty experience for millions of travellers.
