Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane S.p.A. was established on 16 September 1946 as Aerolinee Italiane Internazionali and started operations on 5 May 1947. It was formed as a result of an Anglo-Italian agreement and was funded by the Italian government and British European Airways (BEA). Its popular name, Alitalia, is an Italian portmanteau of the words ali (wings) and Italia (Italy). Alitalia operated a fleet of eight McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft between 1991 and 2009, primarily for long-haul passenger and cargo routes. As the sole customer for the MD-11C (Combi) variant, these versatile trijets featured the iconic green, white, and red livery, serving destinations like Hong Kong and Los Angeles before being sold or converted to full-freighters.
