The company will be replaced by Ita, the state-owned company that was born as a result of negotiations conducted between the Italian government and the European Union (EU) in July in an attempt to save the airline. The new company acquired 52 aircraft from Alitalia.
The traditional company, which turned 75 in September, has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. In 2017 and 2019, according to AFP, Alitalia received government loans totaling 1.3 billion euros.
When the agreement to create ETA was announced, the Italian government said that of the approximately 11,000 employees at Alitalia, “2,800 could be employed in the new company in 2021, and 5,750 in 2022.”
