The Italo Navitaire partnership has been renewed as Italo confirms continued use of Navitaire’s New Skies® platform to expand retailing, APIs and dynamic pricing for a more personalised travel experience.
Summary: Italo has renewed its partnership with Navitaire (an Amadeus company) to continue using the New Skies® reservations and retailing platform, adding APIs, dynamic pricing tools and faster product launches to enhance passenger retailing and operational agility.
Italy’s private high-speed operator Italo has formally renewed its long-term collaboration with Navitaire, the Amadeus-owned provider of the New Skies® reservations and retailing platform. The Italo Navitaire partnership will let Italo continue to adopt advanced retailing technology to deliver more flexible, efficient and personalised services to travellers.
Renewal highlights and platform choice
By reaffirming its use of Navitaire’s New Skies® system, Italo signals continued commitment to a modern retailing backbone. The platform underpins reservations, merchandising and ticket retailing while supporting faster roll-out of new services and improved integration with partner carriers.
Retailing upgrades: APIs and dynamic pricing
A central element of the renewal is an expansion of Italo’s retailing capabilities. The operator will gain access to modern APIs and tools for dynamic pricing optimisation designed to react quickly to market demand and deliver tailored offers to customers.
- State-of-the-art APIs to support integrations and partner connections
- Dynamic pricing optimisation to improve revenue management and personalised fares
- Faster time to market for new products and services
- Seamless integration options with other transport carriers
Collaborative development and operational benefits
Italo and Navitaire will continue working closely to co-develop additional features. These joint efforts aim to simplify operations, boost efficiency, and keep the system adaptable to future needs so that both passengers and on-the-ground teams benefit from a user-friendly, capable platform.
Italo's fleet and sustainability commitment
Italo’s modern rolling stock helps underpin its service improvements. The operator currently runs 25 AGV 575 trains alongside 26 Italo EVO trains — the next-generation evolution of the Pendolino family — which together support higher comfort, greater efficiency and improved performance across Italy’s network.
Alongside technological upgrades, Italo is pursuing sustainability goals, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint while expanding services and embracing digital tools that can make rail an ever-more-attractive low-emissions travel option.
What passengers can expect
For travellers, the partnership renewal should translate into quicker booking flows, more personalised fare options, and improved cross-carrier ticketing possibilities. Enhanced retailing tools and APIs enable Italo to present offers that better match passenger needs while reacting to demand in real time.
Why this matters to the rail sector
The renewed agreement underscores how digital retailing platforms and API-driven ecosystems are becoming essential for rail operators to remain competitive. By adopting agile, modern technology stacks, carriers like Italo can shorten time-to-market for services and collaborate more easily with other mobility providers.
So what? The Italo-Navitaire renewal means travellers in Italy may soon see faster, more flexible booking options and better fare choices, while the rail industry continues moving toward integrated, data-driven retailing that supports growth, sustainability and improved passenger experiences.
