Lufthansa Group has confirmed that its stake in Italy’s ITA Airways is set to increase from a minority holding to a majority position—potentially up to around 90%—as part of a broader integration plan. The update highlights that the process is already underway, with the group stating they are halfway through the integration timeline and targeting completion within approximately 18 months. For ITA Airways, this means closer operational alignment with Lufthansa’s network, fleet, loyalty programme and alliance status, which could accelerate its growth and stability in the European aviation market.
