ITA Airways, the National carrier of Italy and Hainan Airlines, the company based in Haikou, Hainan, People's Republic of China, have signed a codeshare agreement linking the networks of the two airlines.
This new commercial partnership is designed to increase business and leisure travel between the People's Republic of China and Italy and will offer to travelers more options and better connectivity when traveling through Rome Fiumicino.
Available from 21 April for sale to fly, Hainan Airlines will apply its "HU" code on 7 Italian national destinations in connection with Rome Fiumicino airport (Catania, Naples, Bari, Venice, Florence, Bologna, Turin) and on 2 international destinations (Paris and Athens).
The new codeshare flights are available for sale through airline websites (hainanairlines.com), reservation systems and travel agencies.
The two airlines are working in order to expand the scope of their cooperation in the coming months and to offer customers even more affordable travel options.
The agreement with Hainan Airlines activates the codeshare n. 31st of ITA Airways, a result achieved in a year and a half since the foundation of the company.
