Starting June 1, 2007, Alitalia will have access to Malaysia Airlines’ seats inventory for flights between Kuala Lumpur to Rome (round-trip), as well between Kuala Lumpur to Penang (round-trip) and market them under its designator code 'AZ'.

Alitalia’s customers also will be able to travel from Malaysia to Malaysia Airlines' three international Australian gateways of Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

Malaysia Airlines’ customers have the option of services to Italian destinations served by Alitalia from Rome and Milan, as well as five destinations in southern Europe:  Barcelona, Athens, Geneva, Frankfurt and Madrid.

The two airlines are also looking into enhancing the code-share agreement to enable their frequent flyer members to earn and redeem miles on each others’ flights; and planning to expand their network reach, enabling both to gain more access to destinations in Malaysia and Italy.
