Air Italy
This airline ceased operations on February 11, 2020. Air Italy, in its most recent form, was founded on February 19, 2018 with the merger between Meridiana and the original Air Italy, along with heavy investment from Qatar Airways. The new airline commenced operations on March 1, 2018.
Meridiana was founded as Alisarda in 1963 and relaunched as Meridiana in 1991. The old Air Italy was founded in 2005 and originally merged into its rival in 2011.
Air Italy is headquartered in Olbia, Sassari, Italy. The Italian airline’s main hub is Milan Malpensa Airport. It is owned by AQA Holding, which is 51% Alisarda and 49% Qatar Airways.
At the time of its demise, the airline currently had a fleet of 13 airliners travelling to 26 destinations. The fleet consisted of Airbus A330-200, Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737-700 and Boeing 737 MAX 8 models.
