Trenitalia, ITA Airways and Rome Fiumicino airport have joined forces to launch a new ‘train + plane’ product that allows travellers to combine rail and air bookings in a single ticket and complete flight check-in processes at the airport's adjacent train station before entering the terminal.

The Italian flag carrier, which will soon be acquired by Lufthansa, said the new offer aims to provide more efficient connectivity to and from Italian cities with all the destinations in its network.
