The Spanish airline Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas and Italy’s ITA Airways have signed an interline agreement, enabling passengers to travel between Italy and South America with a single booking, including a layover at Madrid-Barajas Airport. This partnership significantly enhances connectivity between the two continents and positions Madrid as a key hub for international air transit.
One Ticket, Multiple Destinations
Thanks to this alliance, travelers can purchase a single electronic ticket covering the entire journey, from their origin in South America to Italian cities such as Rome, Milan, Naples, Florence, or Venice. The primary advantage is convenience: passengers won’t need to worry about multiple bookings or check-ins, as the entire itinerary is integrated under one code.
These tickets are available through major Global Distribution Systems (GDS), travel agencies, and directly via Plus Ultra’s channels.

Guanteed Connections and Expanded Coverage
A key feature of the agreement is the guaranteed connection at Madrid-Barajas Airport. Even in the event of delays, passengers are assured continuity to Rome or any other destination within ITA Airways’ network.
Beyond domestic routes in Italy, this alliance also provides access to high-traffic international routes operated by ITA, including Tel Aviv, Dubai, Riyadh, and Jeddah, making this collaboration a strategic gateway to Asia and the Middle East.
With this initiative, Plus Ultra expands its destination network without operating additional flights, while ITA Airways strengthens its presence in the Latin American market. Both airlines are committed to an optimized user experience and a more competitive offering, particularly for frequent flyers, tourists, and corporate passengers.
