ITA Airways (AZ, Rome Fiumicino) has announced it has reached an agreement with trade unions on a voluntary workforce exit programme. The agreement, part of its organisational restructuring and integration into Lufthansa Group, limits departures to employees who formally agree to leave. Participants will receive income support for up to 24 months, with additional company incentives bringing compensation to 90-92% of their reference salary during the support period. Travel benefits will also be retained. The airline had faced a political backlash over plans to initiate collective dismissal proceedings affecting 226 employees.
