    For ITA Airways, 2023 will be the year of the big investment toward the intercontinental market, which will see the opening not only of Washington, but from Rome Fiumicino also of San Francisco in July and Rio de Janeiro in October. ITA Airways' expansion on long-haul is one of the main pillars of the flag carrier's strategy, as it not only generates profitability but simultaneously increases short-haul, helping to double the capacity of the intercontinental network.

    The United States is the top international market for ITA Airways. and the most strategic after Italy, as well as the country with the largest number of citizens of Italian descent. Therefore, direct flights from North America to Italy are not only itineraries for leisure and business travel, but also provide connectivity to the Italian community.

    With direct flights connecting Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa to New York, Miami, Boston, and Los Angeles, ITA Airways aims to become the carrier of choice between North America and Italy and, via Rome, to Europe and the Mediterranean. Also, with new North American destinations departing this summer from Rome Fiumicino to Washington and San Francisco, the Company will operate 122 weekly frequencies between North America and Italy in the middle of the summer season.

    In addition, thanks to the codeshare agreement with Delta, there are more than 100 domestic destinations that ITA Airways customers can access through the hubs of the U.S. airline's domestic network, with 40 destinations served through New York JFK and an equally significant number of connections from Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington that can meet the needs of business and leisure customers.
