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.
ITA Airways says it will expand direct services to India and Thailand in August 2026, citing disruptions caused by the Iran war to routes through the Middle East. The airline plans to increase frequencies to Delhi and Bangkok, framing the move as a response to passenger demand and a bet on direct, reliable connectivity even as geopolitics makes travel planning harder.
