Lufthansa Group and ANA to add ITA Airways to their Europe Japan Joint Venture

ITA Airways takes another step towards becoming part of the Lufthansa Group. The strategic Europe Japan Joint Venture of Lufthansa Group (LHG) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) will be expanded to include ITA Airways by the Lufthansa Group as of autumn of this year. A corresponding agreement was signed the previous day at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro. The Italian airline’s entry into the largest Joint Venture between Europe and Japan will enable deeper cooperation in many key areas. It will include the European network of ITA Airways, including Italy domestic and the Maghreb as well as its long-haul route between Rome Fiumicino and Tokyo-Haneda. This complements the existing scope of the Joint Venture in Italy with the current ANA connection from Tokyo-Haneda to Milan-Malpensa.
