ITA Airways Boosts Frequencies on Rome-Buenos Aires Route for Summer Season

ITA Airways in June will add two additional frequencies on its route to Argentina, bringing the total of weekly frequencies between Rome and Buenos Aires to nine for the summer season.

According to a company announcement, the increase in the offer to the Argentine capital is a further confirmation of the excellent results in terms of load factor recorded in 2023 by the Rome Fiumicino – Buenos Aires nonstop flight.

With the new frequencies, ITA Airways will offer up to 30 weekly round-trip flights to South America in the peak of the 2024 summer season.

In addition to connections to Buenos Aires, ITA Airways operates up to 14 weekly frequencies (28 flights) from Rome Fiumicino to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and 7 weekly frequencies (14 flights) to Rio de Janeiro.

To further emphasize its focus on the South American market, the Italian carrier has also enhanced its codeshare agreement with Aerolíneas Argentinas, integrating nonstop connections between Rome Fiumicino and Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport in the framework of its partnership with the Argentinian flag carrier.

From now on, ITA Airways’ travelers will fly from Rome Fiumicino to Buenos Aires with a single ticket, benefiting from complete connectivity from passenger and baggage check-in to arrival at the final destination.

ITA Airways will apply its “AZ” code on flights from Rome Fiumicino to Buenos Aires Ezeiza, as well as on 32 domestic destinations in Argentina and on 6 international destinations in South America, including Santiago (Chile), Asunción (Paraguay), São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Lima (Peru), and Montevideo (Uruguay).

Aerolíneas Argentinas will apply its “AR” code on ITA Airways’ flights between Buenos Aires and Rome Fiumicino. The same code will be applied on connecting flights from Rome to 13 domestic destinations in Italy and on 7 international destinations such as Athens, Brussels, Barcelona, Geneva, London, Madrid, and Zurich.

To date, ITA Airways has counted 34 codeshare agreements, an accomplishment achieved in just over two years since the start of the company’s operations.
