ZAGREB / ROME – ITA Airways, the reference carrier of Italy, and Croatia Airlines, the national flag carrier of Croatia, are pleased to announce the expansion of their codeshare agreement. This strengthened collaboration will further enhance travel options and connectivity for customers of both airlines between the two countries.
Currently, the routes between Rome Fiumicino International Airport (FCO) and Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik operated by Croatia Airlines are already codeshare flights with ITA Airways. With this expansion, starting from today, Croatia Airlines’ “OU” flight code will be included on ITA Airways’ domestic routes between Rome Fiumicino and Palermo, Bologna, Florence, and Naples, thus enhancing the travel options for passengers.
This strengthened codeshare agreement between ITA Airways and the Croatian airline will provide both business and leisure travelers with more choices and convenience when flying within the networks of both airlines. Italy will be more accessible to Croatia Airlines’ customers, thanks to seamless connections from Rome to the listed domestic destinations. Similarly, ITA Airways will benefit from increased traffic flows between Italy and Croatia, catering to both leisure and business travelers.
The codeshare flights are now available for booking through the airlines’ respective websites (ita-airways.com and croatiaairlines.com), reservation systems, and travel agencies.
