Air Italy was established in 2005 mainly through the hard work and commitment of Captain Giuseppe Gentile, who was also the founder of Air Europe. It is a young but solid company that, after its initial activity as medium- and long-haul leisure carrier, has also been operating regular scheduled domestic flights since June 2007.

Thanks to its operating reliability and proven safety standards, Air Italy has fast become one of the foremost suppliers of Italian tour operators as well as the public’s favourite scheduled flight company in the reference markets. The company’s punctuality rate over the last 12 months has fluctuated between 88% in August 2009 and 98% in March 2009.

With careful cost management Air Italy has grown rapidly at an average rate of 100% a year, achieving a turnover for 2008 of €230 million and, even more important, it has done so maintaining an economic and financial stability also with regard to its assets.

Air Italy has a team of certified maintenance technicians and a hangar at the Verona base for all necessary work. Passenger safety is a constant benchmark for the company. To ensure top operating standards Air Italy can also rely on its own certified internal structure for aircrew training.
The markets served with medium and long-haul flights are: North-East Brazil (Fortaleza, Maceio, Natal, Salvador de Bahia), Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Kenya, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Maldives, Madagascar as well as Egypt and the Mediterranean countries. The domestic routes are: from the Verona base for Rome, Naples and Bari; from the Naples base for Catania and Turin in addition to Verona. In the summer there are many connections to Olbia from the Italian provinces.

Air Italy has also established 2 subsidiary airlines abroad, in Poland and in Egypt: Air Italy Egypt, Air Italy Polska. In autumn 2006 the fund “Sinergia con imprenditori” (Synergy with businessmen), managed by Synergo set up by Gianfilippo Cuneo, entered with 40% into the shareholding structure.

The Air Italy Group has approximately 700 employees and in 2008 carried approximately 1 million passengers.
Air Italy’s ambitions do not stop at the results that have been achieved.
Reliability, passion for excellence and the confidence of knowing how to fly will guide the Airline towards very significant results in the near future.
