The new Italian state airline ITA Airways and German Airways are cooperating: The airline, which was only founded in October last year, will in future use two Embraer E190s from the second oldest German airline in a wet lease on its European route network.
From March 28, 2022, ITA Airways customers will be able to fly directly from Milan Linate to destinations such as London City, Luxembourg and Geneva. "We are delighted that ITA is working with us. We can benefit from the excellent reputation that we have worked hard to build: we are known as a very reliable service provider with great know-how in the industry. With ITA, another major European airline is joining our customer base, which already includes renowned European airlines," says Maren Wolters, Managing Director of German Airways.
German Airways operates a fleet of five Embraer E190s, which the company leases to other airlines under wet leases, including crews.
