Brief Introduction:

Opened in 1946, Alitalia Airlines belongs to Alitalia Group. It is the biggest airlines in Italy. Headquartered at Rome, Alitalia is the national airline of Italy. It was established on 16 September in 1946 with the name Alitalia-Aerolinee Internazionali Italiane. Eleven years later, after merging with LAI-Linee Aeree Italiane, its name changed to its present - Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane. In 2001, Alitalia Airlines became a member of Skyteam Alliance, and went public in the same year, with Italian government as its biggest shareholder.

Due to improper management and some external reasons, Alitalia has been losing money in recent years and is presently undergoing privatization. We are looking forward to its new development.
