Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane, was the former Italian flag carrier. Based in Rome, the company had been in precarious economic conditions for many years and was subsequently liquidated. Alitalia – Linee Aeree Italiane S.p.A. was established on 16 September 1946 as Aerolinee Italiane Internazionali (Italian International Airlines) 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, blended the Italian words ali (wings) and Italia (Italy). Alitalia became a member of SkyTeam Alliance in 2001.
