About
Air Italy was an Italian airline that was headquartered in Olbia, Sardinia. It was founded in 2005 as Meridiana Fly, and rebranded as Air Italy in 2018. The airline operated flights to destinations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and was a significant player in the Italian aviation market.
Air Italy was known for its commitment to high-quality customer service, and its focus on comfort and convenience for its passengers. The airline operated a fleet of modern Boeing 737 and 767 aircraft, with comfortable seating and a range of in-flight amenities, such as in-flight entertainment and a selection of food and beverage options.
Despite its focus on quality, Air Italy struggled in the highly competitive European aviation market, and was impacted by economic challenges and increasing competition. In 2020, the airline was forced to cease operations due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and filed for bankruptcy.
The legacy of Air Italy lives on, however, and its commitment to high-quality service and passenger comfort remains an inspiration to the aviation industry. The airline was an important player in the Italian aviation market and helped to bring quality air travel to the region, contributing to the growth of the local economy and strengthening the ties between Italy and other countries in Europe and beyond.
Meridiana had codeshare agreements with Air Malta, Air Moldova, Blue Air, Blue Panorama Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, S7 Airlines.
Fleet
At the time that it ceased operations, Meridiana had a fleet of 11 aircraft, which consisted of Boeing 737-700, Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 767-300 ER models.
Historically, the airline has also used aircraft from other manufacturers, including Airbus (A320 family) and regional jets from ATR, British Aerospace and McDonnell Douglas.
