In just two years, Trenitalia has established itself as a key player in the French railway landscape, implementing ambitious strategies. This time, it has wisely decided to open up to the business clientele through a new portal, “Trenitalia Pro”. It aims to anticipate the future needs of professional travelers. This focus on quality, punctuality, and comfort goes well beyond national borders…

Announced a few days ago, the launch of Trenitalia Pro marks a decisive step in addressing professional mobility. This offering, now available on its website and app under the “Serenità Pro” rate. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of business travelers, offering unmatched flexibility and ease of use.

We wanted to make it as simple as for leisure to facilitate the adoption by business travelers and significantly develop our sales in this segment.

For 19 euros in Standard class, 69 euros in Business, and up to 114 euros in Executive, professionals can now travel between Paris and Lyon. They benefit of favorable exchange conditions up to the last minute and without additional fees. This transparent and advantageous pricing policy reflects Trenitalia’s intention to adapt to the specifics of the professional market. An ecosystem where fluidity and responsiveness are essential selection criteria. Demanding professionals who already represent 45% of their clientele, “thanks to their adapted services, buying their tickets so far as leisure customers.”

To stand out, Trenitalia relies on good value for money, ease of use, onboard services, and the frequency of our Frecciarossa.

The goal is clear: to establish itself as a credible alternative to SNCF and Eurostar on international routes.

For 2027-2028, we are also exploring projects for services from the Gare du Nord to London, Brussels, and Amsterdam.
