The Italian flagship carrier will be present at the Messe Frankfurt exhibition center, with a stand located in the pavilion dedicated to Italy in Hall 8 (Stand D400) inside the ENIT (Italian Tourism Board) area. Here the ITA Airways local team will meet the key players in the M.I.C.E. sector at international level, including travel agents, tour operators and trade partners to showcase its offering and discuss future strategies, priorities and goals of the segment.
In the spotlight at the Frankfurt show is the recently launched ITA Airways offer for M.I.C.E. traffic which includes a dedicated ITA Airways Team and tailor-made conditions for this specific segment featuring a great growth potential.
ITA Airways is constantly committed to growth: in the 2023 summer season the Company is offering 64 destinations, including 10 intercontinental ones. Long haul continues to be the focus of ITA Airways’ investments with the opening of new routes from its hub in Rome Fiumicino to Washington starting on June 2 and to San Francisco from July 1. In addition to the new flights to North America, the Company is also offering a new direct route from Rome Fiumicino to Rio de Janeiro which will be available in the winter season and will complete with the flights to Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo the offer in the South American market. These new destinations join those operated in the Asia-Pacific area with Tokyo-Haneda, New Delhi and Malé (Maldives) and the network of destinations in the United States with New York, Boston, Miami and Los Angeles.
In the German market, ITA Airways currently offers 114 weekly flights between Germany and Italy, with direct connections from Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg and Düsseldorf airports to the Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate airports.

Sustainability has been one of ITA Airways’ strategic pillars since day one. Crucial to the company’s Sustainability Plan is the renewal of its fleet: by end of this plan, it will feature 80% new generation aircraft, consuming 25% less fuel and reducing CO? emissions and allowing the Company to become the greenest airline in Europe.
All ITA Airways flights can be purchased on ita-airways.com, or through the Company’s call center, travel agencies and airport ticket offices.
