SkyTeam partners with Trenitalia to revolutionize air+rail travel in Italy

Passengers flying from New York to Rome—or any origin served by SkyTeam members—can now seamlessly continue their journeys on a high-speed train to explore the scenic landscapes of Italy—all on a single ticket. This new capability is part of the latest move from SkyTeam, which inked a partnership with Italy’s national rail operator, Trenitalia, followed closely after the airline alliance group partnered with Eurostar for similar operations. Announced at the World Aviation Festival in Amsterdam, SkyTeam is deepening its commitment to integrated, sustainable travel by joining forces with Italy’s leading rail operator. But what does this mean for travelers, and how could it shape the future of transportation across Europe? Once all government approvals are in place, passengers can fly into Rome or Milan, collect their luggage, and immediately hop onto one of Trenitalia’s high-speed Frecciarossa trains to continue their journey across Italy.<br/>
