Aeroitalia S.r.l is an Italian airline. It operates a fleet of Boeing 737s and ATR 72s from operating bases in Bergamo, Comiso, Genoa, Rome–Fiumicino and Salerno.
History 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 and by the initiative of its investor Marc Bourgade, executive chairman.
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, but has since stalled the plan in order to consolidate its domestic and European operations.
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.
On 6 November 2023, it was announced the airline had acquired a 93.86% stake in AirConnect, a Romanian regional airline, which was rebranded as Aeroitalia Regional in April 2024. In July 2024 the airline announced the opening of a new base in Bacau, Romania. In December 2024, Aeroitalia Regional was sold again, this time to Sicilian investors.
In December 2024, Intrieri announced that Aeroitalia would look to go public in 2025. This comes amid an ongoing ownership dispute in the United Kingdom's High Court involving Aeroitalia's chairman, Bourgade, who is alleged to have subverted an agreed-on sale of the airline with its launch investor.
Trademark lawsuit In June 2025, an Italian court found via a lawsuit filed by ITA Airways that the Aeroitalia name and branding was too similar to that of Alitalia, and ordered the airline to change the name and branding and to cease use of the website aeroitalia.com by 1 January 2026. In August 2025, CEO Francesco Gaetano announced the airline would adopt a new name, branding, and aircraft livery, while keeping Aeroitalia as the corporate name prior to a court appeal in October. In September, the airline's new name was revealed to be "Air Italy" with the implementation date set for March 2026. In February 2026, the company announced it had reached an agreement with ITA to continue use of the Aeroitalia name and branding, and the lawsuit was dropped.
