    Alitalia – Compagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. (Alitalia – Italian Air Company), operating as Alitalia, is the flag carrier and national airline of Italy, which took over the name, the landing rights, many planes and some other assets from the liquidation process of the old Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane and all of Air One. The company has its head office in Fiumicino, Italy.[3] Its hub is Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport, in Rome. Other focus airports are: Linate Airport and Malpensa Airport in Milan, Caselle Airport in Turin, Venice Airport in Venice, Catania Airport in Sicily. Alitalia's subsidiary Alitalia CityLiner bases are Naples International Airport and Trieste Airport instead of Rome and Milan.

    Alitalia is Italy's biggest airline, and the world's 19th.[4] The name "Alitalia" is an Italian portmanteau of the words ali (wings), and Italia (Italy).[5] In late 2013, facing bankruptcy, the loss of a major fuel supplier, and a possible grounding by Italy's civil aviation authority, the airline announced a €500 million rescue package which includes a €75 million investment by the Italian state-owned postal operator.[6]

    In June 2014, the Abu Dhabi-based UAE national airline Etihad Airways confirmed it had agreed to terms with Alitalia on taking a 49% stake in the Italian airline.[7]

    History

    Creation of Alitalia-CAI

    In 2008, a group of investors made the "Compagnia Aerea Italiana" (CAI) consortium aimed to buy the bankrupt Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane ("old" Alitalia) and to merge these with Air One, another Italian carrier.[8]

    On 30 October 2008, CAI offered €1 billion to acquire parts of the bankrupt airline, amidst pilots' and flight crew members' opposition to labour agreements.[9]

    On 19 November 2008, CAI's offer was accepted by the bankruptcy administrator of Alitalia with the permission of the Italian government, at the time major shareholder of the bankrupt airline.[10] Alitalia's profitable assets were transferred to CAI on 12 December 2008 after CAI paid €1052 million, consisting of €427 million in cash and the assumption of responsibility for €625 million in Alitalia debt.[11]

    A USA diplomatic cable disclosed in 2011 summarised the operation as follows: "Under the guise of a rather quaint (and distinctly un-EU) desire to maintain the Italian-ness of the company, a group of wealthy Berlusconi cronies was enticed into taking over the healthy portions of Alitalia, leaving its debts to the Italian taxpayers. The rules of bankruptcy were changed in the middle of the game to meet the government's needs. Berlusconi pulled this one off, but his involvement probably cost the Italian taxpayers a lot of money."[12]

    On 13 January 2009, the "new" Alitalia launched operations. The owners of Compagnia Aerea Italiana sold 25% of the company's shares to Air France-KLM for €322 million. Air France-KLM also obtained an option, subject to certain conditions, to purchase additional shares after 2013.[13]

    The "new" Alitalia is officially a different company, which refused to honour passengers claims against the old bankrupt Alitalia on this basis.[14] In June 2014, the Abu Dhabi-based UAE national airline Etihad Airways announced it was taking a 49% stake in Alitalia.[7]

    History under new ownership

    In January 2010, Alitalia celebrated its first anniversary since the relaunch. It carried 22 million passengers in its first year of operations.[15] In 2011, 25 million passengers were carried.[16]

    On 1 February 2010, it was announced that Alitalia crew would go on a four-hour strike over wages. This was the first strike action for Alitalia since the relaunch.[17]

    On 11 February 2010, Alitalia announced that, starting from March 2010, it would be using Air One as a low-fare airline ("Smart Carrier"), with operations based at Milan Malpensa Airport, focused on short-haul leisure routes. It was predicted that the subsidiary would handle 2.4 million passengers by 2012.[18] In 2011, 1.4 million passengers were carried by the subsidiary.[16] Although operations were initially to be concentrated at Milan Malpensa, Air One operates from four bases as of January 2013: Milan-Malpensa, Venice-Marco Polo, Pisa and Catania.

    On 12 February 2011, information was released about a possible merger between Alitalia and Meridiana Fly, another Italian carrier,[19] however, the airlines are still independent as of March 2012.

    On 25 January 2012, Alitalia signed memoranda of understanding with two other Italian airlines, Blue Panorama and Wind Jet, and said to have started processes "aimed at achieving integration" with them.[20]

    By the end of July 2012, the Italian antitrust authority granted Alitalia, to acquire Wind Jet, but in return Alitalia had to give up slots on domestic key routes. Faced with this, Alitalia cancelled the plans a few days later in August 2012.[21]

    On 3 May 2013, in a sting codenamed "Operation Clean Holds", police made 49 arrests at Rome's Fiumicino airport, with another 37 in major Italian airports including Bari, Bologna, Milan Linate, Naples, Palermo and Verona. All were Alitalia employees caught on camera and most were charged with aggravated theft and damage.[22] Hidden camera footage has been released showing employees rifling through, stealing from, and intentionally damaging passenger's baggage belonging to various carriers.[23]

    Slogans

    A variety of different slogans are currently being used by Alitalia:

    • "Alitalia vola con te" (Alitalia flies with you)[24]
    • "Fatti per volare alto" (Made to fly high)[25]
    • "Alitalia, al lavoro per te" (Alitalia, working for you)[26]
    • "Muoviamo chi muove l'Italia" (We move the people who keep Italy going)[27]
    • "Scegli come volare"(Choose how to fly)
    • "Orgogliosi di mostrare il meglio del nostro paese appassionatamente"(Proud to show the best of our country with passion)
    • "The pleasure of flying Made in Italy"[28]

    The old Alitalia, since 2005, the year in which the new modernised logo and livery were introduced, also used a mix of slogans:[29]

    • "Volare, nella tua vita" (Flying, in your life)
    • "Volare in compagnia dell'Italia" (Fly with Italy)

    Airline operations

    Administration

    Alitalia head office in Rome

    Alitalia's head office is located in Piazza Almerico da Schio, Pal. RPU – 00054 Fiumicino (RM).[30] The corporate headquarters was designed by AMDL, a Milan-based architecture firm.[31] The chairman of the airline is Roberto Colaninno; the first chief executive officer since the relaunch was Rocco Sabelli. On 28 February 2012, Andrea Ragnetti became the new chief executive officer of the company.[16] On April 2013, he was replaced by Gabriele Del Torchio, former chief executive officer of Ducati.[32]

    Compagnia Aerea Italiana (CAI) holds a 75% stake in Alitalia, while Air France-KLM holds the other 25%.[33] On October 2013, the state-owned postal service Poste Italiane announced to buy a 15% Alitalia's stake, by injecting 100 million euros into the company's equity and allowing the following capital increase of 300 million euros.[34][35]
