Airline Identity
History
Alitalia was founded on 16 September 1946 as Aerolinee Italiane Internazionali, later becoming Alitalia - Linee Aeree Italiane, and served as Italy's flag carrier for 75 years. The airline was state-owned for most of its history (privatized in 2009), suffered chronic financial losses in nearly every year of its existence, and underwent repeated restructurings and rescue attempts, entering extraordinary administration in 2017.
Current Operations
Alitalia is no longer operating: burdened by accumulated debt that the COVID-19 downturn made unsustainable, it ceased flying on 15 October 2021. Its operations, brand (bought for around 90 million euros), flight codes, frequent-flyer program, and airport slots were transferred to a newly formed, initially Italian state-owned carrier, ITA Airways, which now serves as Italy's flag carrier from Rome Fiumicino; Lufthansa Group took a 41% stake in ITA in 2023 with an option to acquire full ownership.
