Ita Airways, agreement with the unions: support for up to 180 voluntary exits

Ita Airways has reached an agreement with unions to provide economic support for up to 180 voluntary exits. Workers opting for this will receive unemployment benefits for up to 24 months, supplemented by a company incentive, ensuring total compensation of 90-92% of their salary. This agreement prevents forced layoffs and awaits a decree to extend unemployment benefits further. Additionally, Ita Airways plans to expand its fleet and open new routes by 2027, requiring over 400 new hires as part of its integration into the Lufthansa Group, which will increase its stake in the airline to 90%.
