ITA Airways: 9 weekly frequencies to fly from Rome and Buenos Aires in the 2024 summer season
Codeshare agreement with Aerolíneas Argentinas is enhanced
Rome, 27th February 2024 – ITA Airways announces 2 additional frequencies on the route to Argentina in the
upcoming summer season. This will bring to 9 the total of weekly frequencies between Rome Fiumicino and
Buenos Aires starting from June. 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.
Thanks to 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.
South America is not only a strategic market for business and cargo traffic, but also a favorite holiday
destination for Italians and home to millions of people of Italian origin. The airline is indeed the carrier of choice
for the many Italian and local communities in Argentina and Brazil who choose ITA Airways to feel “at home”
from the moment they step on board.
In addition to connections to Buenos Aires, ITA Airways operates up to 14 weekly frequencies (28 flights) from
Rome Fiumicino to Sao Paulo, Brazil’s most populous city, and 7 weekly frequencies (14 flights) to Rio de
Janeiro.
To further emphasize its focus on the South American market, the Italian reference 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.
The codeshare flights between Italy and Argentina are already on sale on the two airlines’ websites http://www.itaairways.com and http://www.aerolineas.com.ar, booking systems and travel agencies.
ITA Airways will apply its “AZ” code on flights from Rome Fiumicino to Buenos Aires Ezeiza as well as on 32
