In 2024, the Italian government put ITA Airways on the block and approved the sale of 41% of its stake to the Lufthansa Group<\/a>. The airline is moving out of the SkyTeam alliance and into the Star Alliance<\/a>. Due to the move into the Lufthansa Group bracket, ITA Airways will eventually join the Miles & More loyalty programme, just like Lufthansa, Swiss and many other carriers have it as the group loyalty programme.\n<\/p>\n

ITA Airways Volare Status Match<\/h3>\n

In the interim, ITA Airways has reintroduced its Volare status match programme, offering elite members from select frequent flyer programs an opportunity to align their status with ITA Airways\u2019 Volare programme. This initiative comes as the airline prepares to exit the SkyTeam alliance on April 30, 2025, and transition into the Star Alliance later this year. For now, the Volare status granted will not be helpful on SkyTeam or Star Alliance carriers; it will only be on ITA Airways and select partner carriers.<\/p>\n

The application period is between April 22 and June 10, 2025, and the following status holders (largely OneWorld carriers) qualify, apart from Emirates, which is not a\u00a0one<\/strong>world carrier.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

The matched status will be valid until December 31, 2025. To apply, you need to have an ITA Airways account and not have availed of a previous ITA Airways Status Match campaign. Then, you will see an option to process a status match for you.<\/p>\n

To apply, log in to your ITA Airways Volare account, navigate to the dedicated status match section,\u00a0and\u00a0submit the required documents, including a copy of your passport and current frequent flyer membership card.<\/p>\n
