Trenitalia, Italy’s state-owned railroad operator, and Rail Europe – the leading distributor of European rail tickets – are proud to reaffirm a long-standing relationship at the World Travel Market, in London. They will be enhancing international travellers’ access to premium high speed rail travel in Italy.
Trenitalia & Rail Europe have set themselves a common goal for the future: to maintain strong growth on established markets, while expanding access to high speed trains in Italy, for travellers from fast-growing regions, such as India & South America. India is a key market for both companies, mainly due to the growing demand for luxury, sustainable travel experiences.
They will reinforce Frecciarossa’s seamless booking system and high-speed service in the region.

“The partnership between Trenitalia & Rail Europe has been a transformational force in making high speed travel an affordable luxury for international travelers,” said Pietro Diamantini.
Head of High Speed Division, Trenitalia. “With Frecciarossa we bring the best of Italian rail service to the world – a service that combines comfort and efficiency. We are excited to expand our reach into regions such as India and South America where interest in premium, greener transportation is on the increase.

In a press release, the ministry stated that the new company, ITA will be fully operational on this date following the positive result of discussions with the executive commission of the European Union. Alitalia will reportedly operate its last flights on October 14.
Bjorn Bender said that Rail Europe’s mission was to make this exceptional rail service available to travelers around the globe.
“Through Trenitalia’s partnership, we are providing a premium rail experience and supporting the shift towards sustainable, quality rail options.”
Our shared vision of 2025 is centered on a strong, global presence in core regions. We will strategically reinforce high-speed railway to key audiences in India, South America and other key markets.
