Alitalia — Wikipedia

Alitalia , or its full name Alitalia – Italian Air Society , was the airline airline of Italy. It had been created on September 16, 1946 and was declared bankrupt October 15, 2021 . It was replaced by the ITA Airways public company.

Since July 2001, she has been part of the Skyteam Alliance and was also a member of Skyteam Cargo. Its turnover was over 5 billion euros. Its fleet included 122 devices it employed around 12,500 people. In 2015, it had transported more than 22 million passengers.

In chronic difficulty, she suffered a first attempted privatization in 2006, then was privatized in 2008 through the “Italian airline” structure, while being merged with Air One. In 2014, it was partially acquired by the Etihad company up to 49 % . In April 2017 , following the refusal by internal referendum of yet another restructuring plan, the government announces that in six months Alitalia will either be sold or bankrupt, after thirty years of losses. Altalia’s bankruptcy procedure began the May 2, 2017 ^{[ 3 ]} .

If the name of the company can go back to that of Società Area Avio-Linee Italiane (Ali) created in the 1920s, under the leadership of Fiat, the current company was not created until after the Second World War, In 1946, with the support of Trans World Airlines (TWA) and British European Airways (BEA) which financed Aerolinee Italiane Internazionali and Linee Aeree Italiane (Lai), which ended up merging in September 1957.

His creation [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The September 16, 1946 , the company Alitalia – Aerolinee Internazionali Italiane is created in Rome with fully private capital. It adopts a logo with a winged arrow. It will become operational from the May 5, 1947 With its first civilian plane, a Fiat G.12 “Alcione” tromotor, controlled by Virgilio Reinero. The first flight will leave from Turin to the capital Rome and then Catania, in Sicily.

The July 6, 1947 , the Savoia-Marchetti sm.95 “Marco Polo” made the first international flight, from Rome to Oslo with 38 Norwegian sailors on board. In mars 1948 , the company inaugurated its first intercontinental link with a Lancastrian, a 36 -hour flight to connect Milan, Rome, Dakar, Natal, Rio de Janeiro, San Paolo and Buenos Aires ^{[ 4 ]} .

At the end of 1949, the fleet was completely renewed: four Douglas DC-4, bought at Pan Am. In 1950, the first hostesses of the air appeared. Their uniform was due to the Italian haute couture house Sorelle Fontana. THE October 31, 1957 , the state holding company on which the company depended, the IRI, imposes the merger between the companies Alitalia and Lai – Linee Aeree Italiane, the other state airline. This is how Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane was born, the new company then becomes the only national airline, the Italian standard -bearing airline; Its base is then located at Rome Ciampino International Airport ^{[ 5 ]} .

His development [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The year 1960 will mark the company’s assertion on the international scene with its appointment of the official carrier of the Summer Olympic Games in Rome. On this occasion, the company has its first jet planes, Douglas DC-8 and Caravelle. She moved away from her British investors in the 1960s to become a company entirely with Italian capital at the end of the decade. The company then exceeded one million passengers transported during the year. Its base is moved from Rome Ciampino airport to the new Rome Fiumicino airport, opened the January 11, 1961 ^{[ 6 ]} .

The June 3, 1964 , the company creates a subsidiary in Naples baptized Ati – Aero Trasporti Italiani, to ensure national links. In 1965, the company exceeded 3 million passengers transported. New planes enrich the fleet, the DC-9/30s on which hot meals are served. In 1967, Alitalia abandoned its historic headquarters in the Roman district of Parioli, via Maresciallo Pilsudski, and was transferred to the skyscraper ^{[ 7 ]} .

In 1969, Alitalia was the first and the only airline in Europe to have a fleet made up only of jet planes. It also adopts a new visual identity. Until now, the delivereds included the white and gray colors on the fuselage, with a headband of five sky blue and two black lines at the portholes. On the tail, is the Italian flag and the name Alitalia In capital letters is registered in the center of the fuselage, above the row of portholes. The old logo with its winged arrow is replaced by the letter A , taking the form of the tail of the plane with the colors of the Italian flag. The fuselage is now entirely white with a large green strip (in jargon cheatline ) In terms of portholes ^{[ 8 ]} .

The June 5, 1970 , the first Boeing 747, baptized “Neil Armstrong”, is put into service. It ensures the Rome-New York link. In 1973, the company put into intercontinental connections the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 tromotors. The same year, Alitalia opened connections to the Far East and dessert Tokyo ^{[ 9 ]} .

But the international deregulation of the 1970s was rough enough for the company. She missed her various attempts to diversify in tourism or through smaller companies like Aermediterranea, formed in mars 1981 (55% of the capital belonging to Alitalia and 45% in ATI) with seven DC-9-30 from the Alitalia fleet ^{[ ten ]} .

In 1980, Alitalia inaugurated her own flight school in Alghero, Sardinia. In 1982, Alitalia passed the 10 million passengers transported. The fleet is enriched by new McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and Airbus A300/B4 ^{[ 11 ]} .

In the 1990s, Alitalia carried more than 28 million passengers per year, but union tensions and the massive investment plan produced very disappointing results.

In June 1991, Altalia’s headquarters was transferred to the new “Centro Direzionale” (NCD) of the Magliana, in Rome. The fleet is still enriched with the new McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft and the Airbus A321 in 1994 to develop average, mail links. The company exceeds 20 million passengers transported ^{[ twelfth ]} .

In 1993, Alitalia transported 38.7% of international flight passengers and was classified the third European airline after Lufthansa and British Airways ^{[ 13 ]} . In 1995, Alitalia transported one in two Italian traveler who took a plane ^{[ 14 ]} .

The first ^is November 1996 , its subsidiary Avianova was baptized Alitalia Team, for the management of medium and long letters at low cost with 9 ATR-42, 4 ATR-72, 5 Fokker 70, 1 Boeing 767, 14 Airbus A321 and 7 MD-82 ( These last three types of planes being loaned by the parent company). It inaugurates its first website. In 1997, Alitalia created Alitalia Express, to develop regional transport ^{[ 15 ]} . Alitalia Team S.P.A. ended up being absorbed with Alitalia S.P.A. while Alitalia Express S.P.A. remains as a company but without having an important image autonomy.

In 1996, the CEO Domenico Cempella proposed an ambitious development plan which provided for an association with the Dutch company KLM and the opening of the new hub in Malpensa. The association with KLM leads to the creation of two co-enterprises, one for the transport of passengers, the other for freight which were to be the first step before the merger of the two companies. But in 2000, the Dutch company unilaterally broke its commitments. Alitalia will then initiate legal action with international arbitration which in 2002 sentenced the KLM company to pay compensation to Alitalia in the amount of 250 million euros. KLM will be absorbed by Air France in 2003.

First difficulties and enter Skyteam [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

After an aborted marriage with KLM in 2001, Alitalia entered a descending spiral, aggravated by the reduction of the market after the September 11, 2001 , with for the 2003 fiscal year a negative operating margin, equal to -9.4% of turnover. One of the causes which caused the serious crisis that the Italian company Alitalia experienced, from the mid -1990s, is certainly the opening of the markets imposed by Europe, in particular the opening to competition from national links with The appearance of very low -cost foreign companies which should not endure loads on wages. The attacks of September 11, 2001 In New York has immediately and very significantly drop the attendance on intercontinental flights, a specialty of Alitalia which prevented him from investing to adapt his offer to the new request of the passengers ^{[ 16 ]} .

That same year, Alitalia signed a cooperation agreement with Air France and entered the alliance SkyTeam Created a year earlier, one of the main alliances between airlines whose members were Air France, Aeromexico, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air and CSA Czech Airlines. The agreement with the French national company provided for a cross participation up to 2% of the capital of each which allowed the leaders of each of the companies to be part of the board of directors on the other. Francesco Mengozzi, then CEO of Alitalia, confirmed in its functions by the Berlusconi II government, wanted to work for a merger with Air France which would have given the IRI 35% of the capital of the new group but the Italian government refused this provision ^{[ 17 ]} . This trade agreement provides in particular to develop a multi HUB system, based on airports in Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino and the development of code sharing in Europe and in intercontinental flights. For flights between Italy and France, the companies operate in joint venture. There is currently ^{[When ?]} 582 weekly flights of which 30.6% are provided by Alitalia, but Cimoli recently wanted this sharing of thefts to be better balanced.

In 2002, Alitalia put into service the new Boeing 777-200er devices replacing former Boeing 747. In January 2004, the Alitalia group had 21,294 employees including 4,418 flight assistants and a fleet of 157 more ordered devices. The capital was mainly held by the Italian State (62.4%), other shareholders such as employees had 3 (35.6%) and Air France (2%). The Alitalia group included the Alitalia company and its Alitalia Express subsidiaries (100%),
Alitalia Team (100%), Eurofly (20%) ^{[ 18 ]} .

To straighten this public society in great economic difficulty since 2003, the Italian government first designated in May 2004 Giancarlo cary plates post préquégment prerevi dellu fire (chames de fres), come prieid déléngué (qui use be posts jsqu’en February 2007 ). More than 5,000 layoffs have been envisaged to avoid the company’s bankruptcy (figure then reduced to only 3,500 after agreement with the unions September 2004 ). Massimo Chieli, the director of human resources, detailed the recovery plan, stating that the airline would be divided into two companies: Alitalia Fly (11,700 employees) for transport itself, and Alitalia Service (9,000 employees) for ground activities. It was made, between 2005 and 2006, would be practiced in a quarter of the workforce: 1,570 job cuts for Alitalia Fly , including 450 pilots and 1,050 commercial navigation staff (PNC: hostesses and stewards) and 3,430 at Alitalia Service . A good part of this last subsidiary should be outsourced. The objective is to save around 315 million euros each year on the payroll and bring the operating costs of Alitalia to those of the equivalent European companies.

In 2005, Alitalia won the auction during the sale of the Italian air group Volare Spa which controlled the low -cost airline Airlines and the Air Europe charter company. That same year, the company very slightly reviews its visual identity with in particular a new logo and less angular scriptures ^{[ 8 ]} .

Following a Franco-Italian government seminar in January 2005, the alliance of the Air France group and Alitalia was confirmed by the two governments. “Alitalia has its problems to solve and we solve them,” said Silvio Berlusconi, and then we will head towards the integration To create a single Franco-Italian company, words confirmed by Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The managing director, Giancarlo Cimoli confirmed these remarks on the sidelines of the summit: “Once the company will have a more positive situation from an accounting point of view, it will be worth more and will go to the alliance with KLM and Air France ».

In November 2005 , Air France has announced that it would participate in the capital increase scheduled for December so as not to dilute its 2% stake that it wanted to maintain.

A capital increase to straighten the finance of the company took place from November 14 to December 2, 2005 , According to the provisional results communicated by Monte Titoli S.P.A., the parts subscribed represent 1,250,160,756 out of a total of 1,257,562,072,072 shares offered, for a total value of 1,000,128,604.80 euros (99.4% of the offer).

Continuation of difficulties and privatization [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The crisis increased in 2006, with a first catastrophic semester, with the consequence of a loss of 10% of its value on the stock market in one day the September 13, 2006 . The company suffers from too small size, from the bursting of its activities on two main platforms ( hubs ), Milan-Malpensa and Rome-Fiumicino, and the eccentric situation of Italy for the transatlantic lines. It is also harshly attacked by low -cost companies – internationally, such as Ryanair which provides 13% of international links from and to Italy (against 20% for Alitalia) and on the national market, by companies like Meridiana or Air One, where its market share does not exceed 50%.

At the end of 2006, the PRODI II government decided to privatize the company, selling 30.1% (then 39.9%) of capital, which forced the buyer to exercise a takeover bid. THE February 13 , the Italian public treasury announces that only 5 candidates (out of 11) are invited to specify their offer for mid-April in terms of privatization. These buyers were:

• AP Holding by Carlo Toto, owner of Air One;
• M&C Management & CAPITALI SPA – CERBERUS European Investments LLC – ELQ INVESTORS LTD – LEFINALC SPA (the latter with ALCIDE LEALI);
• MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC ;
• Texas Pacific Group Europe LLP ;
• UniCredit Banca Sevi Sec.

The call for candidates fails after eight months of delay during which all potential candidates withdrew. In January 2007 , Air France initially renounces to participate in this call for tenders and the merger is no longer on the agenda. The 2001 and 2003 cooperation agreements remain in force, however. THE February 14, 2007 , the Italian Minister of Economy announces that a second phase will last 9 or 10 weeks and will end in mid-April with the evaluation of preliminary offers. The privatization contract should be concluded for mid-June. The best economic offer will not be “The first evaluation element” In order to choose the buyer. He specifies that the Italian state somehow bought an industrial plan with its qualities. The Minister recalled that Alitalia accumulated losses between 1996 and 2006 equal to 3.2 billion while the shareholders paid 4.5 billion euros. The Treasury does not exclude keeping a share but the Italian state will give in the company’s control.

Russian airline Aeroflot has expressed April 2007 His wish to become a co -owner of Alitalia: this news was made public by Unicredit, one of the main financial groups in Europe with $ 1,000 billion in assets and partner of the Russian airline in the project. Aeroflot Managing Director Valeri Okoulov said that the third partner could join the Aeroflot-United Tandem. ^{[ 19 ]} . The Russian company and Unicredit withdrew from the race June 27, 2007 , for lack of reliable information.

The first ^is August 2007 A new CEO is appointed to replace Mr. Libonati, Maurizio Prato which is responsible by the Ministry of Finance to continue the path to the privatization of the Company. He has the board of directors of the August 30 The company’s return to a single hub from Rome Fiumicino as well as the significant reduction in the Milan Malpensa base. The almost abandonment of the Milanese hub will earn him a legal action by the airport operator, the SEA, and a complaint of 1.25 billion compensation for prejudice. The company has been dismissed.

During the second attempted privatization, several international companies were candidates: Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, AP Holding (owner of the Air One), Aeroflot as well as a group of Italian entrepreneurs led by Antonio Baldassarre, Director General of the RAI during the Berlusconi II government.

The December 21, 2007 , the Altalia board of directors chooses Air France-KLM as a privileged interlocutor to initiate discussions concerning his acquisition of acquisition of acquisition ^{[ 20 ] , [ 21 ]} . The 15 mars 2008 , Alitalia accepts the offer from Air France-KLM which provides for a public exchange offer of 100% of ALITALIA shares with the exchange of 160 ALITALIA shares for an AIR FRANCE-KLM action as well as a public purchase offer of all altalia convertible obligations. All this estimated the amount of the company at 1.7 billion euros including recapitalization up to 1 billion, 138.5 million for the purchase of ALITALIA shares, valued at 0.099 euros each and 608 million for the convertible obligations. The offer was also subject to conditions: obtaining the complete agreement of unions, the written commitment of the Italian government to maintain as the rights of the traffic of Alitalia, (NDR: Italian law obligation to maintain territorial continuity with the islands reserved for national and maritime companies with subsidies so that passengers do not pay the distance made at sea) , the signing of an agreement with the “Rome airports” service company on the levels of services necessary for the implementation of the 2008-2010 business plan, an agreement with Fintecna and Alitalia Servizi which provides for return within Alitalia of activities such as maintenance and land services, the renegotiation of certain clauses of service contracts and the withdrawal of litigation with the SEA. French requirements were to be resolved before 31 mars 2008 . For the Italian company Alitalia, it was planned that it keeps its autonomy, its strictly Italian identity, its brand, its logo and its livery. A reduction plan of 2,100 employees was planned. In exchange for which, as imposed in the specifications, the Italian state would keep a participation of 1.4% of the capital of the new Franco-Italian-Hollandais group and an advisor during the first 6 years in the board of directors of The new Alitalia. The fleet would be reduced to 149 aircraft. The new group would have three bases, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome ^{[ 22 ]} .

During the electoral campaign in Italy of mars 2008 , Alitalia is the main economic theme ^{[ 23 ]} . The April 2, 2008 CEO Maurizio Prato resigns. This decision follows the declaration of Silvio Berlusconi ^{[ 24 ]} Who refused to guarantee that in the event of a new designation as head of government, he would have validated such conditions of sale of the national company. The Italian government, conducted by Romano Prodouss repels its decision which allows the CEO of Air France-KLM, Jean-Cyril Spinetta to announce the April 21th The withdrawal of the French offer ^{[ 25 ]} . The day after the French announcement, the Italian Council of Ministers published a decree which concedes a loan of 300 million euros to the Italian national airline to be reimbursed before the December 31st ^{[ 26 ] , [ 27 ]} .

The Italian government and the company entrust a consulting mission to the intestsa Sanpaolo bank to define the procedure to follow to relaunch the privatization of the Alitalia company again. Strong rumors suggested that the best solution would be to place the company under judicial administration, within the framework of the Marzano law, and to merge Alitalia with Air One. The bank’s mission expired at the end of August.

The July 30 , the plan of the bank named Phoenix is debated during the Altalia board of directors. The project plans to create a new company which would take up the assets of the current with a reduction of 3,250 jobs. The new company would have as a shareholder AP holding of the Carlo Toto group which controls Air One. At the end of August, the Altalia board of directors filed a request for placement in payment of payment from the Rome court. The company is then put under judicial administration and Augusto Fantozzi is appointed commissioner.

On the evening of Monday first ^is September 2008 , the new company Cai-Complement Aerea Italiana, directed by Roberto Colanno, sent a fantozzi commissioner for a purchase offer in Alitalia.

The new Alitalia, merged with Air One by Carlo Toto, will have a capital of 1.1 billion euros, funded by the MEDIOBANCA business bank. But the same day, Silvio Berlusconi, just after a German-Italian summit, seems to give his preference to an alliance with Lufthansa: one of his spokespersons specifies just after it is the CAI and not the government that negotiates this possible alliance ^{[ thirty first ]} .

The November 20, 2008 , Augusto Fantozzi formally accepts the CAI offer: the latter will pay 100 million euros in cash, 327 million euros being the provisional supplement to pay within six months (and partly, at 24 months) and 625 million will be mortgage debts.
