ITA Airways to raise fares 10 percent despite rising jet fuel costs no flight cuts planned

80% of 2026 fuel needs already locked in

ITA Airways says it will not cut flights even as jet fuel costs rise. The carrier has hedged about 80% of its 2026 fuel requirements, giving it room to act. It plans a 5% to 10% fare increase this year to offset higher expenses. CEO Joerg Eberhart also noted Lufthansa’s stake expansion is still pending.
