ITA Airways raises the curtain on the new Runway Lounge at Milan Linate AIrport.
“We carried almost 6 million passengers at Linate last year”
“This 500-square-metre lounge with 125 seats, a food, business and relaxation areas, meets all the needs of Lufthansa Group passengers,” explains CEO and general manager Joerg Eberhart. The lounge is a significant milestone for the company, which carried almost 6 million passengers at Linate last year and 1.25 million in the first quarter of 2025. “Linate is a strategic airport for us, not only because it is an important city airport for business traffic, but also for leisure passengers, who can reach 27 direct destinations from here and, via flights from Rome Fiumicino airport, have access to the company's entire network, including 16 intercontinental destinations.”

Partners who are symbols of Italian style
The name “Runway” has a double meaning: on the one hand, it refers to the runway where aircraft take off and land, and on the other, it evokes the catwalks on which fashion collections are shown, paying homage to Italian style, excellence and the city of Milan, the world capital of fashion. Like all other ITA Airways lounges, the Runway Lounge has been designed to be not just a waiting area, but a place where passengers can feel at home and begin their Italian-style travel experience. The partners of excellence who contributed to the creation of the Runway Lounge are symbols of Italian style: Campari Group, illycaffè, iGuzzini and Poltrona Frau.
Seating for 125 passengers
The Runway Lounge is the first ITA Airways lounge to display the “Member of Lufthansa Group” endorsement. It is strategically located for passengers departing from and arriving at Milan Linate Airport, close to gates A17 and A21, has 135 seats and is open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Available for premium passengers
The Lounge is accessible to all passengers with a Business Class ticket on ITA Airways and Lufthansa Group airlines, Executive and Premium members of the Volare loyalty programme, Hon Circle and Senator members of the Miles&More programme, and Star Alliance Gold Card holders departing on Lufthansa Group flights.
