Do I need an Airport transit visa for my two layovers in Schengen?

Hello everyone,

I'm traveling from US to India via Europe. I'm an Indian passport holder.
I have two layovers (France and Europe) before my final destination in India - both within three hours. I checked the transit visa requirements for Schengen zone and Indians are exempted from both France and Italy.

Airport Transit Schengen Visa

What is an Airport Transit Schengen Visa (Type A)? An Airport Transit Schengen Visa (Type A) is a short-stay permit allowing travelers from specific non-Schengen countries to transit through the international zone of a Schengen Area airport during a layover or flight transfer, without entering the Schengen Area. This visa type is mandatory for travelers […]

It should not be a problem if I'm flying through just one of them.

However, I learned from someone that an airport transit visa might be required if you're traveling through two Schengen airports.

I called Italian airlines and they said they don't have this information. Did anyone face this situation before? How can I make sure?

Thanks in advance,
Sankalp
