Alitalia Airlines After Bankruptcy
Headquartered in Rome, the eternal city, Alitalia is the nineteenth largest airline in the world, with its main hub at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport. Alitalia serves 66 international and 24 domestic destinations, its top 12 flights all originating from Rome. Alitalia offers a frequent flier program MileMiglia, qualifying fliers for all the benefits of the Sky Team Alliance. Members of MileMiglia can earn miles on flights on Alitalia or any of its thirteen Sky Team partners, including Air France, Delta, Northwest, Aeroflot, Korean Airlines, Czech Airlines, and more.
Alitalia Airlines was founded in 1946. The airline’s inaugural flight was from Turin to Catania and Rome. The first international flight left a year later from Milan to South America. Its current fleet consists of primarily Airbus and Boeing aircraft. The airline has made some strategic changes recently in hopes of expanding its presence in the international market.
Like many other airlines, Alitalia has faced financial challenges almost continuously since its inception, with just one profitable year, 1998. Its most serious financial issues were due to problems with labor issues and government interference. The Italian national government stopped subsidies in 2006, and the airline declared bankruptcy in 2008. The airline then became a private company when Air France-KLM acquired a 25 per cent stake in the airline from the Italian government.
The “new” Alitalia Airlines merged with Air One, which operates a high-frequency scheduled network to 36 destinations in Italy, Europe and North America. Air One’s main hubs are located in Rome, Milan and Turin. The airlines are partnered under a consortium called Compagnia Aerea Italiana (CAI), which finalized its purchase of the two airlines in December 2008.
Prime Minister Berlusconi had called for the formation of the consortium, which derives its investment capital from wealthy Italian entrepreneurs and banks. The consortium assumed Alitalia's debts, which led to public questions as to how much the Alitalia sale was subsidized by taxpayers. The new company was formed with a capital of 1 billion euro, and promised a five-year plan to bring the new airline to profitability by 2010. Over 12,000 workers of the "old" Alitalia kept their jobs in the merger, but another 3,250 jobs were eliminated.
CAI officials hope that the 25 per cent stake held by Air France-KLM will enable the new company to expand its coverage of international destinations that will bring the company into the black. But Alitalia's problems created a great deal for the flying public, as all tickets were honored and the new participation in Sky Team greatly enhances opportunities to earn and use frequent flier points from MileMiglia.
One well-known service of Alitalia has been continued by Air One. The airline continues to charter "Shepherd One," the official airline for the Pope.
