Route launch details
ITA Airways will introduce a direct service between Rome Fiumicino and Caracas starting on 30 March 2027. The route will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and will be flown with Airbus A330‑900 aircraft.
The agreement for the new service was formalised by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by ITA Airways Chief Executive Officer Joerg Eberhart and Venezuelan Ambassador Maria Elena Uzzo Giannattasio.
Fiumicino network glitch
A data‑transmission network fault at Rome’s Fiumicino airport caused the cancellation of at least four departing flights to Milan Linate, Riyadh, Tirana and Trieste, and delayed around 20 other flights by 15 minutes to an hour.
Civil‑aviation authority Enav reported that air‑traffic management capacity was reduced by 50% and ruled out a cyber‑attack or sabotage as the cause.
