ITA Airways (AZ/ITY) is Italy’s national flag carrier, founded in October 2020 following the financial collapse of Alitalia, the long-standing (but long-struggling) Italian airline. Officially known as Italia Trasporto Aereo S.p.A., ITA commenced operations in October 2021, inheriting many of Alitalia’s routes, aircraft, and even its frequent flyer program. Though legally a distinct entity, ITA Airways draws inspiration from Alitalia’s iconic branding, adopting a livery that pays homage to Italy’s national colors and aviation heritage. Positioned as a more sustainable and efficient successor, ITA aims to rebuild the reputation of Italian aviation with a modernized fleet and streamlined business model. ITA took another step forward by joining Star Alliance on April 1, 2026. This marked the 26th airline member to join the alliance and enhances connectivity between its hubs in Rome and Milan with over 1,150 global destinations. ITA was previously a member of the SkyTeam alliance. Let’s take a look at the airline’s fleet as of May 2026.
