Lufthansa's acquisition of a 41% stake in ITA Airways is set to bring significant changes. The plan includes integrating ITA into Lufthansa's operations, shifting ITA from SkyTeam to Star Alliance, and developing Rome Fiumicino Airport into a key intercontinental hub. As part of this transition, ITA will be excluded from Lufthansa's Atlantic Joint Venture with Air Canada and United Airlines for two years. This measure addresses regulatory concerns and aims to maintain fair competition on transatlantic routes. While this exclusion may limit ITA's immediate growth in the transatlantic market, it ensures a balanced competitive environment. Future integration could lead to expanded connectivity and improved route management. #aviation #airline industry #Lufthansa #ITAAirways #AirCanada #UnitedAirlines
