Interjet Airlines announces a new code share agreement with Alitalia providing passengers convenient connections between the networks of Alitalia and Interjet Airlines. Now customers have the convenience of purchasing a single ticket for flights on either airline, and fast connections at the airports served by both carriers.

"We are very excited to announce this important codeshare agreement between Interjet Airlines and Alitalia," said Julio Gamero, Interjet's Chief Commercial Officer. "Alitalia is the flag carrier of Italy and we are one of the fastest growing airlines in North America. Our current interline agreement has served both airlines well and we will continue our commitment to all our business and leisure travelers everywhere we fly, our unique brand of lower prices with free checked bags on select fares, more legroom between seats and excellent service,” he added.
