Alitalia was the flag carrier airline of Italy. It was founded in 1946 and operated for almost 75 years before facing financial difficulties and ultimately ceasing operations.
Over its history, Alitalia served as the main airline for Italy, providing both domestic and international flights. It was a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance, which includes carriers like Delta Air Lines, Air France, and KLM.
In 2017, due to financial troubles, Alitalia filed for bankruptcy and underwent various restructuring attempts. However, despite efforts to find a solution, the airline was unable to secure a sustainable business model.
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Alitalia had effectively ceased operations, and its assets and operations were being transitioned to a new national airline called ITA Airways (Italia Trasporto Aereo). ITA Airways was established to take over some of Alitalia's assets, routes, and operations. Keep in mind that there may have been further developments since then, so I recommend checking the most recent news sources or the official ITA Airways website for any updates.
