About ITA Airways
ITA Airways is the Italian flag carrier and the successor to Alitalia, whose AZ code it still uses. Rome Fiumicino is its hub for long-haul and connecting flights, and Milan Linate is its second base, mostly for business routes within Italy and Europe. Beyond Europe it flies to the Americas, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. After the Lufthansa Group became a shareholder, ITA left SkyTeam and is now a Star Alliance member, so older references that list it under SkyTeam are out of date. Long-haul cabins are Business, Premium Economy and Economy.
Live ITA Airways fares can be searched on IATA.co in the booking portal or through the flights API, and tickets are paid from your prepaid balance. ITA Airways fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Fare conditions are displayed before you confirm.

Booking ITA Airways fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book ITA Airways fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live AZ fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. ITA Airways results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search ITA Airways (AZ) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same ITA Airways search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code AZ and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
