ITA Airways
SkyTeam
Update March 24. Thanks to a reader's report, we noticed how from the list of loyalty programs accepted by the status match offer all SkyTeam carriers were eliminated.
Flying, the loyalty program of ITA Airways, launched a few months later a second status match campaign To enable members of 24 frequent flyer programs to quickly access To one of the statuses of the new loyalty program Of the Italian flag carrier.
In this article:
The program in its entirety was only launched last March 1. To date, however, benefits are still tied exclusively, or almost exclusively, when flying with ITA and not with all SkyTeam carriers. A fact that limits the benefits of holding status in an alliance company.
ITA Airways' #2 Challenge.
The rules compared to the first challenge launched last October have not changed except for the dates and relative length of status.
To be eligible for status on Volare you must have an elite level in the loyalty program of one of these airlines:

Here are the requirements.
From March 15 to April 15, 2022, members can participate in the status match campaign enrolling in the Volare program (if they are not already members) and apply to match their current status within another loyalty program and thus gain access to one of the Exclusive Clubs.
Only members belonging to the tier premium (tier not accessible by program membership alone, e.g. Ulysses, Winged Arrow, Winged Arrow Plus, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Frequent Traveller, Senator, HON Circle).

In conclusion
I don't think the numbers of this second edition will be "successful" as in the original. First, because the vast majority of active Millemiglia members have surely already participated. Second because the many who had not a Skyteam status around the world had participated in the hope of being able to get the benefits of the alliance, to date nothing. Ultimately Because since the program has been unveiled in its entirety it has displeased almost all users, mainly because of the unclear way in which prize tickets are redeemed.
