Alitalia: all the news and offers on flights and MilleMiglia

Alitalia, founded in 1946, has been the national airline of Italy for many years. Its history has been marked by ups and downs, management changes and financial challenges. In 2021, Alitalia ceased operations after being declared insolvent, making way for ITA Airways, Italy's new airline.

The fleet included a variety of aircraft, mainly Airbus and Boeing, serving a wide network of domestic and international destinations. However, financial difficulties contributed to a decline in operations and eventually to the company's closure.

Alitalia's main hub was located at the Airport of Rome Fiumicino (FCO), while other hubs were present in the city such as Milan Linate (LIN) e Catania Fontanarossa (CTA). These strategic positions have made Alitalia an important player in Italian aviation.

Despite challenges, Alitalia maintained a reputation for elegance and distinctive style, embodying Italian national identity. Its in-flight service, cuisine, and aircraft interior design often reflected Italian culture and art.

With the transition to ITA Airways, the new Italian airline has assumed the role of Alitalia's successor, aiming to preserve Italian air connectivity and provide quality service. ITA Airways focuses on a renewed and sustainable business model, with the goal of ensuring a strong presence in the aviation industry.
