The news is not yet official, but two clues confirm the news, which therefore will also be made official on the ITA Airways side shortly. Volare loyalty program welcomes second partner airline after Korean Air Air France KLM's turn. You will now be able to accumulate Fling Blue points and related XP when flying ITA Airways and vice versa.
Flying Blue appears on the App.
When checking in via the Volare app it is now possible to add the Flying Blue card number, which is the loyalty program of Air France and KLM. To date, the only cards present were, in addition to Volare, Delta's SkyMiles and Korean Air's SkyPass.
This would suggest that the same present partnership with the Korean carrier will be launched soon.
On the Flying Blue website here is ITA Airways
On the website of the Franco-Dutch loyalty program is present among the partners ITA Airways. As written now it is possible to accumulate XP points, at the moment we are only talking about flights marketed by the two companies and operated by ITA Airways, this means that you do not accumulate FB points and XP points for flights sold and operated by ITA Airways.
In a nutshell at the moment the partnership works only, and only for codeshare flights sold by AF or KLM, so something in between. Likely, however, things will change in the coming weeks.
That things are still in the making is evident from the FlyingBlue website, as you can see ITA is a partner still not at 100% since the accumulation is only for a portion of flights and instead you cannot use Fb points to book award tickets with the Italian national airline.
