The history of Alitalia
With its head office in Rome, the airline had gone through economic difficulties for years. Wholly owned by the Government of Italy since 17 March 2020, Alitalia operated a fleet of Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Airbus A330-200, and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft to over 34 scheduled domestic, European and intercontinental destinations. In 2018, the airline was the twelfth-largest airline in Europe.
