Euroairlines has launched a new partnership with AccesRail that will allow passengers to book combined air–rail journeys across Spain and Italy. The agreement brings Renfe and Trenitalia services into the airline’s booking system and expands connectivity to cities not directly served by air.

As reported by Airport-Technology and Yahoo! News, the partnership integrates national rail operators directly into Euroairlines’ distribution channels, enabling travellers to purchase a single ticket covering both flight and rail segments. The arrangement gives passengers access to an extended list of Spanish destinations, including Alicante, Barcelona, Bilbao, Granada, Málaga, Pamplona, Seville, Valencia, and Zaragoza, through Renfe’s high-speed and long-distance services.

In Italy, the system links flights operating at Rome Fiumicino Airport and Roma Termini with connections to Bologna, Florence, Genoa, Milan, Naples, and Venice. RailwayPro notes that the model supports growing demand for door-to-door mobility, allowing passengers to reach city centres and regional hubs that lack direct air connections.

Euroairlines says it will expand intermodal options to additional markets in the coming weeks as part of its broader global growth strategy. The company, founded in 2000, already uses AI-supported digital systems across its distribution network, which spans Europe and the Americas. Integrating rail operators is presented as a natural extension of this approach.

Airline Sees Intermodality as a Tool for Efficiency and Sustainability

Euroairlines CEO Antonio López-Lázaro said the agreement strengthens the company’s long-term plans.
"The partnership with AccesRail strengthens our commitment to intermodality, a model that expands destinations, increases passenger flexibility, and promotes more efficient and sustainable mobility. This agreement allows us to reach places where aircraft cannot, thanks to rail connectivity, and enhances travel options for passengers."

AccesRail, founded in Canada in 1997, connects rail and bus operators to airline global distribution systems, allowing rail segments to be booked in the same way as flights. This alignment enables airlines to extend their networks into regions impractical or uneconomical to serve by air.

RailwayPro notes that the collaboration fits within a broader European shift toward replacing short-haul flights with rail, reducing emissions and easing pressure on busy air corridors. The integrated model also improves operational efficiency by reducing reliance on short feeder flights, which are cost-intensive and vulnerable to disruption.

Euroairlines plans to bring additional rail operators into its system in the coming months, expanding its intermodal portfolio in Europe and other regions. The company frames this as part of a longer-term commitment to provide more flexible, sustainable, and connected travel options.
