Alitalia—Compagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. (English: 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 the entire Air One. The company has its head office in Fiumicino, Italy.[1] Its main hub is Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport, Rome.

Alitalia is Italy's biggest airline, and the world's 19th.[2] The name "Alitalia" is an Italian portmanteau of the words ali (wings), and Italia (Italy).[3]

[edit] History

[edit] 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.[4]

On 30 October 2008 CAI offered €1000 million to acquire parts of the bankrupt airline, amidst pilots' and flight crew members' opposition to labour agreements.[5]

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.[6] 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.[7]

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."[8]

On 13 January 2009 the "new" Alitalia re-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. The French as well as the Italian boards agreed to the sale.[9]

[edit] History under new ownership

In January 2010, Alitalia celebrated its first birthday since the relaunch. It carried 22 million passengers in its first year of operations.[10] In 2011, 25 million passengers were carried.[11]

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.[12]

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 in Milan Malpensa Airport, focused on short-haul leisure routes. It was predicted that the subsidiary would handle 2.4 million passengers by 2012.[13] In 2011, 1.4 million passengers were carried by the subsidiary.[11] 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,[14] 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.[15]

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.[16]

[edit] Slogans

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

  • "Alitalia vola con te" (Alitalia flies with you)[17]
  • "Fatti per volare alto" (Made to fly high)[18]
  • "Alitalia, al lavoro per te" (Alitalia, working for you)[19]
  • "Muoviamo chi muove l'Italia" (We move the people who keep Italy going) [20]
  • "The pleasure of flying Made in Italy"[21]

The old Alitalia, since 2005, year in which the new modernised logo and livery were introduced, also used a mix of slogans:[22]

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

[edit] Airline operations

[edit] Administration

Alitalia's head office is located in Piazza Almerico da Schio, Pal. RPU – 00054 Fiumicino (RM).[23] The corporate headquarters was designed by AMDL, a Milan-based architecture firm.[24] The chairman of the airline is Roberto Colaninno; the first chief executive officer since the relaunch was Rocco Sabelli, replaced by Andrea Ragnetti on 28 February 2012 .[11]

Compagnia Aerea Italiana (CAI), a consortium that bought all the profitable activities of the old Alitalia and Air One in 2008,[25] holds a 75% stake in Alitalia, while Air France holds the other 25%.[26]

  • As of 29 July 2009 Alitalia is the first airline for domestic flights in Italy and was the third airline for international flights to/from Italy. As of 4 October 2010 Alitalia has overtaken Easyjet in this respect and is therefore in second place.[38][39]
  • 2010 was an "uphill struggle" for Alitalia, whereas a break-even was almost achieved in 2011, despite the difficulties arising from high fuel costs and recent regional troubles in Japan and North Africa. Alitalia have said in a press release that the prospects for 2012 are "still challenging".[11][28]
  • Alitalia was nominated as Europe's most punctual airline in 2010, and as one of the world's five most punctual airlines in 2011.[11]

In addition to its Air One subsidiaries, and its SkyTeam alliance partnership, Alitalia and Alitalia CityLiner offer frequent flyer partnerships with these other airlines (as of October 2012):[41]

Alitalia's pilots and flight attendants have protested the codeshare agreement with Carpatair, citing safety concerns.[42] On the evening of February 2, 2013, the landing gear collapsed during landing on a flight from Pisa to Rome operated by Carpatair for Alitalia. The next morning journalists in Rome covering the incident were nonplussed to discover the ATR 72 turboprop had been painted completely white during the night, obliterating Alitalia's green, white and red livery.[42]

A Boeing 767-300ER, registered as EI-DBP, is seen here in SkyTeam livery (2010)

The new Alitalia inherited Alitalia - Linee Aeree Italiane's membership of the SkyTeam alliance. Alitalia-LAI originally joined in 2001.[46]

Alitalia has since opened up code-share agreements with SkyTeam members, allowing passengers to fly to numerous destinations using a single Alitalia ticket.[47]

In July 2010, Alitalia joined leading SkyTeam members Air France, KLM and Delta's Transatlantic Joint Venture, meaning that the profits on flights across the Atlantic are shared between the four airlines.[48]

[edit] MilleMiglia

The airline's frequent-flyer programme is named "MilleMiglia" (thousand miles), and is part of the SkyTeam alliance programme, allowing passengers to collect miles and redeem them with free tickets across the whole alliance.[49]
