Alitalia – Società Aerea Italiana S.p.A., operated as Alitalia, was an Italian airline which was once the flag carrier and largest airline of Italy. The company had its head office in Fiumicino, in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital. The airline was owned by the Government of Italy as a nationalized business from its founding in 1946 until it was privatized in 2009. The Italian government eventually took back ownership of the airline in March 2020. The airline was a full member of the SkyTeam alliance. In 2018, the airline was the twelfth-largest airline in Europe. On 24 August 2021, Alitalia announced that it would cease operations. On 15 October 2021, in a hybrid reorganization, Alitalia sold its entire operation to ITA Airways, a newly formed state-owned flag carrier.
