Fewer frequencies between Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino. A clean cut of routes such as Bologna-Catania, Genoa-Olbia or Alghero-Trieste and more goodbye to some intercontinental routes such as Santiago de Chile or Seoul, which put together recorded a frightening red of 28 million euros, but also Mexico City and Havana. These would be some of the novelties of the new Alitalia plan, according to the project of the Italia Trasporti Aereo network (a public newco created to relaunch the Italian carrier) within which at least this time we want to avoid Alitalia registering yet another flop at all costs industrial and yet another red on the balance sheet.
For this reason, there is also a stop to flights between the capital and Pisa or the Lombard capital and Trapani, which already caused losses of 5,5 and 2,5 million before the coronavirus. To avoid the umpteenth loss, Alitalia will have to take into account cash needs (by mowing down red lines), the consequences of the pandemic (which has repercussions on foreign routes, for example before the coronavirus the Rome-Florence route already lost 6 million euros , but above all American tourists went on board who arriving in Italy with intercontinental connections) and a fleet that with 45-47 planes at the beginning it will be less than half of that of 2019 and little bigger than the forty or so aircraft moving today.
Connections to St. Petersburg and Kiev, Bucharest and Podgorica are also skipped. The USA remains the main intercontinental market, Japan is considered promising. Ethnic flows save flights to Brazil and Argentina.
