Listen to the applause. The fat lady has sung. ITA has joined the LH family.

Do yo think it would be better to change the tittle of the thread or create a new one ? ITA Airways in 2025

ITA Airways will start a new route into Sub-Saharan Africa..... No worry it's not a Brussels Airlines destination (you can breath). It will be Mauritius (seasonal service)

ITA Airways: two flights per week between Rome and Mauritius

While Air Mauritius has given up on launching its bi-weekly connection to Rome, the Italian airline ITA Airways is embarking on the adventure. The latter is continuing its expansion on the long-haul segment. After the Maldives, it is preparing to serve Mauritius from November 7, 2025, from Rome-Fiumicino.

its predecessor Alitalia served MRU few times before the covid. Well i don't know if we can talk about of ''predecessor''


Is ITA Airways resurrecting the Alitalia brand ? New livery seems to suggest so

They have to use the brand somehow, to keep the rights on it. This is how trademark protection works, if you don't use it in the registered category for a certain period, it becomes free.

For sure the Alitalia brand has some value - if it is positive nostalgia, national pride or associated with decades of missmanagement, it may be subject of personal opinions.

Nevertheless, ITa as a brand itself is well executed, fresh - compared to it the Alitalia livery looks simply like grandmas living room from the 60s.

There are rumors here that ITA will start flying the A321in 2026 to Luanda ?!

Here are the top markets for Luanda in 2024 over 10 000 pax. Point to point market, outside Africa:

Lisbon : 340 780 (served by ITA)
Porto : 63 233 (served by ITA)
São Paulo : 32 754 (served by ITA)
Dubaï : 31 762 (served by ITA)
Beirut : 23 434
Shanghai : 17 798
Mumbai : 17 724
London Heathrow : 17 282 (served by ITA)
Paris CDG : 16 915 (served by ITA)
Manilla : 12 457
New Delhi : 10 489 (served by ITA)
Istanbul : 10 079 (served by ITA)

If we put only ITA destinations, there an average of 1 343 pax flying everyday between Luanda and ITA destinations. Of course i doudbt that ITA will able to attract pax on the market btw Luanda and Sao Paulo, Dubai or Delhi. The competition is huge on these 3 markets with Emirates, Qatar, Ethiopian and Turkish Airlines. However depending timetables, ITA will probably able to catch few pax.

It's also a smaller plane.
I got the information from people working for ENI.
