ITA Airways: plane + train ticket for travel between Italy and Spain

iryo, the first Spanish private high-speed operator owned by Trenitalia (FS Group) and ITA Airways have signed an innovative agreement to offer travelers a combined train + plane ticket, facilitating travel between Italy and Spain.

 

Passengers will be able to purchase a single ticket for intermodal travel, combining ITA Airways flights with iryo's Frecciarossa high-speed trains. In particular, ITA Airways customers will have the opportunity to reach destinations such as Alicante, Cordoba, Malaga, Seville and Valencia with the Frecciarossa, which are currently not served directly by the airline. Similarly, iryo travelers will be able to take advantage of connections with over 20 Italian airports, including those in the cities of Florence, Milan, Naples, Rome and Venice.

 

The integration between air and rail transport represents a strategic vision for the future of European mobility with an increasingly integrated, intermodal and sustainable transport system. The goal is to create a fluid network between major European cities, reducing environmental impact and improving the quality of life of travelers. FS's 2025-2029 Strategic Plan envisages significant growth in international business, with an estimated 40% increase in passenger volume. FS International will be the engine of this expansion, coordinating activities outside Italy with an already consolidated structure of 12,000 employees and a turnover of 3 billion euros.

 

ITA Airways combines its routes from Rome Fiumicino with destinations served by Frecciarossa trains in Spain. ITA Airways and iryo passengers will be able to use the services of both airlines with a single booking, benefiting from dedicated assistance in case of need.

 

►A single booking for ITA Airways flights and Frecciarossa trains by iryo.
