On 1 September 2025, the cooperation between Lufthansa Cargo and ITA Airways will reach another important milestone: The routes from Delhi (DEL), Tokyo-Haneda (HND) and Bangkok (BKK) to Rome-Fiumicino (FCO) will then also be marketed and managed under the Lufthansa Cargo AWB prefix.

"We are proud to offer our customers additional capacity from Asia to Europe with these three routes. The cooperation with ITA Airways got off to a successful start in June, and we are excited to take the next step together. Our newest hub in Rome is a particularly important addition to our network, enabling us to offer even faster and more reliable connections to Europe and worldwide; truly emphasizing our purpose, enabling global business," explains Anand Kulkarni, Head of Global Markets at Lufthansa Cargo.

Lufthansa Cargo has been marketing ITA Airways' belly capacities on routes from South America to Rome since May this year. The first flights under the new cooperation took place in June. Subject to regulatory approval, the cooperation will be gradually expanded to all ITA Airways' continental and intercontinental routes. This will increase the global offer of belly capacities available to Lufthansa Cargo customers by almost 20 percent. In future, freight customers will thus have access to an even broader global network, including the belly capacities marketed within the Lufthansa Group, connecting all major economic centres in Europe and around the world.
