Ita, le ipotesi dietro il rilancio del brand Alitalia

🏩 Alitalia's brand revival on Ita Airways aircraft targets long-haul marketing. The "Inspired by Alitalia" label debuted on an A350 from Rome Fiumicino to Tokyo Haneda last Saturday. Upcoming summer will see the logo on A321neo (medium-haul) and A220-100 (short-haul). Rumors indicate new routes to Brazil (Rome-São Paulo), Argentina (Rome-Buenos Aires), and North America, focusing on long-distance travel to the USA, Canada, and South America. The strategy may boost employment and lead to a renegotiation of Ita Airways' expired contract by the end of 2024.
