ITA Airways and Croatia Airlines have announced an expansion of their codeshare agreement, enhancing connectivity between Croatia and Italy. This strengthened collaboration aims to provide more travel options for customers of both airlines.
Previously, routes operated by Croatia Airlines between Rome and Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik were codeshare flights with ITA Airways. As of today, Croatia Airlines' "OU" flight code will also appear on ITA Airways' domestic routes from Rome to Palermo, Bologna, Florence, and Naples.
The expanded agreement offers greater convenience for business and leisure travelers, making Italy more accessible to Croatia Airlines' customers and increasing traffic flows between the two countries. Tickets are now available through the airlines' websites, reservation systems, and travel agencies.
This collaboration is part of a broader trend in the aviation industry, where airlines increasingly form partnerships to expand their network reach without the need for additional aircraft or routes. Such agreements help airlines optimize their operations, reduce costs, and offer passengers more seamless travel experiences.
Moreover, travelers can expect improved customer service and streamlined support, as both airlines integrate their customer service teams to handle queries and issues more efficiently.
