ITA Airways Fares Could Rise 10% as Fuel Shock Tests Lufthansa’s Italy Bet
ITA Airways will raise fares by 5% to 10% this year but will not cut flights, CEO Joerg Eberhart said Wednesday. The airline has hedged about 80% of its 2026 fuel needs as jet fuel prices remain high. Lufthansa’s pending ownership decision and suspended Middle East routes remain key variables for ITA’s outlook.
