A New-Old Airline: The ITA Airways Fleet In 2022 

Same. I love the shade of blue. It's infinitely better than eurowhite.

I was on an a320 today. It looked nice outside, inside is the same as alitalia and the one i was on was falling apart. One of the luggage stowage doors fell off and the armrest was breaking.

It's like Sarah Palin said about putting lipstick on a pig. It's total crap all the worst aspects of Alitalia!

I've been on their A320 NEO, and it's amazing. The seats are modeled after sports cars, and it's super clean.

It's OK, Ryanair flies at the same altitudes as anyone else.

@@Quasihamster yeah they gotta make as much money you know

Msc owns them lmao, they clearly won't fail

I flew roundtrip from Milan to Paris with an ITA’s a320 with blue livery. Unfortunately the cabin remained with the old Alitalia liveries because it wasn’t revamped yet. Ok outside the airplane was fresh painted, but inside the cabin looks back from 2000 and its looks very old and a little dirty. I didn’t have adequate space for legroom beacuse my knee touch he front seat. With low fare companies I never had any legroom problem. Anyway the landing was very smooth. Crew was ok, with old Alitalia uniforms. For time reasons the company I work for chose to fly with ITA instead of easyjet. honestly I would have preferred to fly with Easyjet. In addition it had 1 hour delay, but considering the european fly slots situation it was reasonable. For European and national flights I honestly don't see a prosperous future for ITA… the prices are high, the cabin was 1/2 full. Time a few years and it will be saved again from bankruptcy by the Italian state.

I agree with you, without a major brand revamp and change in strategy, they will be back at the bankruptcy table again!

@@inema100 fake

Hoping for the best because you like the color of their plane LMAO? Bruh they were operating for just a year and had 2 major incidents. Definitely NOT a good look whatsoever

@@6z0 incidents happen to every company. It is true that every incident that happened with Alitalia were due to human error but it doesn't mean it's not a good look

Hmm i also love blue i maybe agree.

It really stands out like aer lingus old livery that they sadly retired (not fully)

i love the new livery of ita airways

@@aviationazzurraita1486 same

Yeah, it’s a nice touch. Instant recognition when you see them.

The only disadvantage is that the plane won't really reflect the sunlight since the livery is blue

@@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCAits a faded bright blue tho plus white text reflects sunlight

There's a bit disappointment that ITA Airways doesn't feature with premium economy for long haul aircraft. Btw, ITA Airways A350 look amazing and spectacular.

Also yesterday 18th August 2022 the flight from Genoa to Rome AZ1380 encountered a bird strike and returned back to GOA

@@simofran6456 come se fosse colpa della compagnia

Gli aerei sono dedicati a sportivi italiani. Non sono per forza dei calciatori

@@gabriele7339 si lo so

I hope they succeed, I don't like the name ITA, I always liked ALITALIA, that was a good, strong name. I don't like the whole airplane blue, looks like a cartoon. I like airplanes dedicated to players like Baggio and Lippi, but leaves others out. Finally, I am Brazilian and really feel sorry the Azure will not be in Qatar World Cup, a world cup without ITALIA is not a World Cup, I am very sad for all Italianos, salud!

Thet should keep it all Airbus.

the ita airways it's a special, in italy have name of "savoia light blue" this is a the color of the all italian national team

@Delilah Dove I totally agree. KLM livery Is perfection, and I'm not Dutch. Ita looks a bit agressive, kind of military livery. I would engentle it with a small white smiley on the tip of the planes nose :-)

Yeah they’re owned by the government as today, they’ll survive

ITA Airways has serve JFK but not EWR. The airline need to add more widebody aircraft to their fleet in order to make the expansion for US destinations, particularly ORD, SFO and IAD.

Let me guess you want to recreate what Alitalia used to do fly to both airports. JFK makes sense for them because of DL Skyteam Hub there. EWR is Star Alliance Hub that means OS🇦🇹 LH402/403 FRA München Flughafen Franz Josef Strauß LH412/413🇩🇪 CA819/820🇨🇳 AC🇨🇦 benefit from United Airlines transfers

ITA Airways has inaugurated their service to Delhi from November 2022 with Airbus A330-200. Hopefully the ordered Airbus A330neo will eventually replaces all of Airbus A330-200.

It's an homage to the Italian National Football Team

speriamo che con lufthansa ci farà fare bella figura

ITA Airways is 51% owned by the Italian Government while 49% is held by Lufthansa Group, I think Lufthansa will handle the airline's management while it remains an Italian entity.

They've got a video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vx9itFwqhAk.html

@@slightly.acoustic Thanks, eh mate! I'll watch it after the video ends.

It's clear that ITA Airways is going to all Airbus fleet, unless if the carrier decide to order Boeing aircraft.

Ita brand logo doesn’t look bad

Alitalia never had 77Ws

Alitalia returned the leased 77W in 2020

They were transferred to a new Italian cargo company, Aliscargo, which sometimes operates on behalf of ITA (ITA itself can't operate full-cargo service cause of the European Commission rules that allowed the transition from Alitalia)

No, the Embraer E190 was in wet lease

massive?

@@tomAkelife-ff9tf 50 plus airlines is a lot maybe not massive tho

@@markkaroo Alitalia right before the pandemic had over 100 planes, to me this is nothing really

Plenty of airlines have an all boeing or all airbus fleet. Cant remember the last time there was a grounding like the MAX and even then it was only one model not every single Boeing airplane.

EI- means that the aircraft ist registered in Ireland. Maybe someone wants to save some taxes, Facebook is doing the same ;)

(No one can find them)

Really? The one that's fully white and barely has anything on it? 😂

@@bluemilk4909 no no, the previous not current one. It wasn't white. I still think various 'ethnic' multicolour liveries look awful. And not all eurowhites are bad: look at Swiss. It looks stunning

@@lugovoiarena Are you talking about the one that looked like it had frost theming?

Simple flying can't tell you why the airline choose if they want mix or only one aircraft maker Boeing or Airbus .

@@games-er4hq alright thanks for the awnser

Airbus is a better Aircraft, they chose Airbus because of reliability and low cost of ownership.

i have the code

red: 0 green: 113 blue: 206

@@aviationazzurraita1486 Thank you. You're a legend.

@@aviationazzurraita1486 come l'hai avuto?

We're flying ITA in November (also booked thru Delta), Non stop from Boston to Rome and back. Fingers crossed that we don't have the same unfortunate experience you had. Any suggestions or recommendations that might help make the flight easier? Thanks in advance, and sorry your flight was so terrible.

let's be honest, this can happen on any airline
