Description: Based in Fiumicino, Italy, Alitalia was an Italian airline which was once the flag carrier and Italy's largest airline. The airline was owned by the Government of Italy from its founding in 1946 until it was privatized in 2009; after struggling with profitability while a private company, including failed negotiations to sell to other private parties, the Italian government took ownership of the airline in March 2020. The airline operated its large fleet of modern aircraft from its main hub at Rome–Fiumicino International Airport to 34 scheduled domestic, European and intercontinental destinations, and maintained codeshare agreements with 42 airlines. The airline announced that it would cease operations in October 2021.
