Aeroitalia SRL is an Italian airline.[6][7] It operates a fleet of Boeing 737s and ATR 72s from operating bases in Bergamo, Comiso and Rome–Fiumicino.
History
[edit]The airline was launched in 2022, by an ex-consultant of Italy's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, Francesco Gaetano Intrieri, who is Aeroitalia's CEO. AeroItalia's backers include Germán Efromovich, the airline's president and previous owner of Avianca, and a French banker named Marc Bourgade.[8][9]
On 9 July 2022, it started operating scheduled flights from Forlì to domestic destinations as well as Malta and Zakynthos. The airline planned to operate long-haul flights to the United States and Latin America by 2023,[10] but has since stalled the plan in order to consolidate its domestic and European operations.[3]
It announced an increase of flights to Sicily in 2023 including additional flights to Trapani, Palermo, and Catania with the support of the Sicilian government.[11]
On 6 November 2023, it was announced the airline had acquired a 93.86% stake in AirConnect, a Romanian regional airline.[12] In July 2024 the airline announced the opening of a new base in Bacau, Romania.
