SkyTeam partners with Trenitalia to boost air-rail connectivity
Italy rail operator Trenitalia has teamed up with SkyTeam to offer customers a wider choice of connecting journeys across Italy.
A MoU between the two was announced at the World Aviation Festival in Amsterdam this week.
The partnership will enable customers to explore Italy using high-speed Frecciarossa train services – Trenitalia’s high-speed network in Italy.
With Trenitalia becoming a part of SkyTeam’s global network, customers will be able to book a journey that connects air and rail segments.
“We are delighted to join forces with Trenitalia as our second non-airline partner, strengthening SkyTeam’s intermodal travel strategy,” said SkyTeam CEO, Patrick Roux.
“Italy is an important global market for business and leisure travellers and with Trenitalia customers will have more choice and flexibility to go where they want to, how they want to.”
Once the partnership with Trenitalia is in place, SkyTeam frequent flyers will be able to earn and spend miles when traveling on eligible Frecciarossa rail itineraries.
Members of CartaFRECCIA, the loyalty program of Trenitalia’s high-speed train network, will earn and burn points when flying on eligible SkyTeam flights.
SkyPriority services will be offered at railway stations where possible for SkyTeam Elite and Elite Plus members and Trenitalia’s CartaFRECCIA Platinum and Gold members.
Currently, 14 SkyTeam member airlines serve Italy from markets across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Greater China.
Trenitalia offers direct connections to/from 23 Italian airports, including SkyTeam’s Rome Fiumicino hub.
The Frecce network reaches 150 destinations in Italy with over 270 daily connections, and also runs in Spain and France with Frecciarossa.
Italian cities served by SkyTeam member airlines that offer Frecciarossa connections include: Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice, Genova, Bologna, Florence, Naples, Verona and Bari.
