I have just booked a trans-Atlantic ITA J (business) ticket through an OTA, and wanted to add my FlyingBlue or DL miles account numbers to my itinerary. I checked FB rules, it turns out FB accepts ITA mile credits ONLY if the ITA flight is marketed by KLM/AF. I then check Delta, it's the same, the ITA flight must be marketed by Delta in order to get DL mile credits. So, It looks like my upcoming ITA flight mile credits can only go to an ITA account, which yet to be created and will sure to be an orphan account.
I Googled ITA and Skyteam, apparently, the results show ITA's role in Skyteam is questionable. This is not nice. Who would think that an airline claims to be a member of an alliance, but do not fulfill member obligation and do not provide alliance benefit.I believe ST is also to be blamed, ST's quality is obviously way lagging behind SA. I feel I was fooled by ITA's ST logo, and will not fly with ITA anymore after this trip.
I am sharing my experience here so others won't repeat my mistake.

It always pays to check mileage earning BEFORE committing to buying a particular ticket.
ITA is in the process of being acquired by Lufthansa; this had been expected for quite some time and is presumably at least partly responsible for ITA's incomplete integration into Skyteam.
Depending on when your flight is , you should check again if there are any Star Alliance programmes into which you can earn miles.

It has not; it is still awaiting approval from the European Commission, who may yet either block the deal entirely, approve the deal as-is, or require further remedies for approval.
Phase I takes up to 25 working days (5 weeks); when the outcome of Phase I is that a deeper investigation is needed, Phase II takes up to a further 90 working days (18 weeks) with extensions available, when required, for another 15 or 20 working days.
Even assuming that the Commission immediately opened Phase I on the day the deal was signed - Thursday May 25 - and that Phase II commenced immediately after Phase I, that would lead to Phase II ending on Thursday November 2.
Recently reported claims that the Commission is "blocking" the deal are therefore completely inaccurate and, at best, premature - but unsurprising given the source of such claims.
It was widely expected at the time of the deal that no outcome would be known until "at least the fall of 2023".

EC conditions could also be so high that Lufthansa might still walk away. The expected so-called phase 2 investigation spurred a late disagreement over ITA pricing, which has now been settled.
