ITA Airways Named Official Airline of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival

ITA Airways has become the Official Airline of the 82^nd Venice International Film Festival – La Biennale di Venezia, one of the world's most prestigious events in cinema, held from August 27 to September 6, on the Lido in Venice.

This partnership reinforces ITA Airways’ role not only as a global ambassador of Italy’s cultural excellence and heritage but also as a leading Italian carrier. Supporting national cinema, art, and culture aligns seamlessly with the company’s core identity and values.

For the third consecutive year, through this collaboration, ITA Airways will serve as the Official Airline of La Biennale di Venezia, continuing until 2027.

“Being Official Airline Carrier of the 82^nd Venice International Film Festival – La Biennale di Venezia is much more than a simple partnership for us, it is an honour and a true homage to one of the most iconic events in the world in a city – Venice – that includes all key elements our country is known for – history, excellence, creativity, and style. – affirmed Joerg Eberhart, ITA Airways’ CEO and General Manager – Supporting such a prestigious event confirms ITA Airways’ central role not only as reference carrier connecting Italy with the rest of the world but as Made in Italy ambassador as well. The Venice International Film Festival of La Biennale di Venezia, art and culture’s global showcase, reflects innovation, style, and culture – core values of our country which ITA Airways continuously strives to enhance”.

In Venice, ITA Airways will showcase an immersive installation honouring the theme of flying in Italian cinema, blending words, images, and sounds. Both flight and cinema share the thrill of exploring new horizons—whether mental or physical—and with us, passengers can dream of reaching distant destinations from the comfort of their armchair.

The airline continues to invest in service innovation and excellence, delivering a personalised and memorable travel experience rooted in quality and Italian tradition. This dedication is reflected in our collaborations with leading brands: Brunello Cucinelli advising on cabin and crew uniforms, Walter de Silva designing aircraft interiors, and Michelin-starred Italian chefs curating onboard menus each season. From 21 June, a new summer menu crafted by chef Moreno Cedroni is available in Business Class on all intercontinental departures from Italy.

Every ITA Airways flight invites passengers to explore Italy’s diverse spirit and carry its cultural values across the world.
