The date of October 14 is inexorably approaching for Alitalia. In recent days, meanwhile, came the green light from the U.S. Department of Transportation to open ITA's connections from Italy to the U.S.
While the union tables for the new company's hiring of staff are still ongoing, operations to get to full operation are thus proceeding.
The carrier has sought approval to conduct connections from Milan to New York and from Rome to Boston, New York, and Miami before the end of the year. In 2022, the airline plans to add flights from Rome to Washington D.C. and Los Angeles and in 2023 those to Chicago and San Francisco, also departing from the Italian capital.
The green light was a given since it falls under the U.S.-EU agreement governing flights between the United States and European Union states, including Italy.
He has since left the fleet, what was the flagship of Alitalia. and the latest "gift" fruit of the marriage with Etihad. The only 777/300, the largest aircraft in AZ's fleet, has left Rome and will soon be repainted with the livery of its new tenant.
Initial developments are expected in the coming days for the Alitalia brand auctions, and all related pieces, such as website, social channels, acronyms, and ticket codes. However, to know what the new fleet will look like in the coming years, we have to wait. Obviously still no news about the new loyalty program.
