ITA Airways operated more than 123,000 scheduled flights in 2025 (down 11 % from 2024) and carried 16.2 million passengers (down 8 % from 2024), with a load factor of 83.4 %, up 2.1 percentage points year-on-year.

Positive impact from first synergies with Lufthansa

In the press release, the company underlines the contribution of the first part of the synergies achieved with the Lufthansa Group, in a complex year characterised by a series of aspects with negative repercussions, starting from the "challenging geopolitical context", but also the impact of the remedies imposed by the EU Commission to approve Lufthansa's entry into the capital,the criticality linked to the availability of short-medium range aircraft subject to progressive shutdowns to carry out maintenance work on Pratt & Whitney engines. Without forgetting the weight of the absence of the commercial contribution of a partner carrier on the routes between Italia and the United States, the Company's first international market.

At the same time, in contrast to 2024, the results were influenced by the 'positive effects of the accounting adjustment of payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies (mainly US dollars) at year-end exchange rates'.

For Ita there is still 'a high incidence of financial charges' for leasing contracts related to the fleet modernisation and expansion plan, which 'make the operating result not yet fully sustainable and on which the Company will continue to work to achieve real profitability'.

Fleet of 106 aircraft, 70% new generation

In 2025, the development of the Ita Airways fleet continued, with the entry of 10 new aircraft and the simultaneous exit of 3 older generation aircraft, bringing the total number to 106 aircraft at the end of the year (24 wide-body and 82 narrow-body), 70% of which are new generation, with an overall average age of 6.5 years.

"The year 2025 marked a turning point for Ita Airways: we are closing in profit for the first time, confirming that we are on the right track," said CEO and MD Joerg Eberhart, "to achieve fully sustainable profitability we need to reduce the burden of charges related to fleet leasing; we are already working hard on this."

For Ita's chairman Sandro Pappalardo, the approved results 'confirm the solidity of the company's path and the value of cooperation between its shareholders'.
